In this speech, Mr. Hasegawa made two major points to the students scheduled to travel to the U.S. to participate in the All US Model United Nations Contest. First, he talked about the significance and implications of the “Pact for the Future” adopted by the UN General Assembly last year. The second point was about the UN Security Council reform proposal that Mr. Hasegawa is working on. It was impressive to see the students listening intently and taking notes all the time, and many questions were asked after the speech. It was a good opportunity for young people to inherit the “aspirations” of Mr. Hasegawa. (1/2/2025)
