Amplifying Global Cooperation for Shared Development: USC at the United Nations General Assembly 2025

Engaging in Global Dialogue and Collaborative Action

Each September, world leaders gather at the United Nations Headquarters in New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). The United Society Council (USC) organizes a delegation to participate in the High-Level Weeks and related side events. Our presence at this important international forum aims to foster constructive dialogue, promote mutual understanding, and contribute to global development efforts in line with the principles of the United Nations Charter.

The USC delegation includes selected members to engage in discussions with policymakers, international organizations, and civil society representatives. Our participation is designed to facilitate learning, exchange ideas, and explore collaborative opportunities that align with the goals of peace, development, and win-win cooperation.

Our Approach

Our engagement is structured to maximize meaningful participation through three key components:

Focused Learning Sessions
