New Delhi, Sept 20: Priyanka Chopra gave a speech on Monday at The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), as a representative of UNICEF.
She said that it is important for the leaders to come together to safeguard the ‘foundation of a just world that we fought for’, in her opening remarks.
“As countries continue to struggle from the devastative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the climate crisis upends the lives and livelihoods, as conflicts rage, and as poverty displacement, hunger, and inequalities destroy the very foundation of the more just world that we have fought for such a long time,” she said.
“And as we all know, all is not well with the world. But these crises did not happen by chance, but they can be fixed with a plan. We have that plan. The UN-Sustainable Goals, a to-do list for the world,” she added.
Priyanka took to Instagram to express gratitude. “Walking through the gates of the United Nations this morning to speak at UNGA for the second time, as a proud representative of @unicef, gave me real pause,” she wrote.
She also shared pictures on her Instagram handle posing with Malala Yousafzai, Amanda Gorman and others. Notably, Priyanka is the UNICEF global goodwill ambassador. She has been working with the organisation for more than a decade now.
