Guterres Pledges to Facilitate Leader Meetings During UN High-Level Week, Cites Gaza Peace Plan

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he would do "everything possible" to facilitate meetings among world leaders during the UN General Assembly's high-level week, according to Anadolu Agency.

Guterres cited efforts related to a Gaza peace plan as part of the diplomatic push taking place on the sidelines of the annual gathering of heads of state and government at UN headquarters.

"I think we must take profit of this week to allow for a large number of meetings between those leaders that are relevant in the context of the crisis that we are facing," Guterres was quoted as saying.

The remarks come as the high-level week traditionally serves as a venue for informal diplomacy, with leaders and officials using the gathering to hold bilateral and multilateral discussions outside formal UN sessions.

Anadolu Agency did not provide further details on the specific content of the Gaza peace plan referenced by Guterres or on which leaders might be involved in the meetings he described.

The UN chief's comments underscore the organization's continued attention to the situation in Gaza, though the report did not specify additional measures or a timeline for the proposed talks.
