Watch again as Sir Keir Starmer addressed world leaders at the 79th UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday (26 September).

The Prime Minister gave his speech after a day of meetings with world leaders, including Lebanese Prime Minsiter Najib Mikat, Kuwait’s Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al Sabah, and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley.

The gathering of world leaders at the UN comes as the Middle East teeters on the brink of all-out war and conflict rages in Ukraine.

Sir Keir used his speech to say the UK is returning to “responsible global leadership” because it is in British interests to address problems around the world.
