The General Debate of the UN General Assembly's 81st Session continued for a fifth consecutive day, with a packed schedule of addresses by ministers and officials from Arab and Gulf countries.
The day's speeches included contributions from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and Tunisia, with delegations addressing a range of regional and international issues before the General Assembly.
The Saudi delegation, in its address, reaffirmed the country's right to self-defense, in reference to the security concerns weighing on the region.
For its part, Tunisia emphasized its categorical rejection of serving as "a transit or settlement territory for irregular migrants," reaffirming its firm stance on illegal immigration — a file that is commanding an increasingly significant share of Euro-Mediterranean debates.
These speeches came within the context of the annual General Debate hosted by the UN General Assembly in New York, where delegations from countries around the world present their positions on the most pressing international issues.
