PH vows larger role in global peace push under UN security body
Manila Bulletin
|September 29, 2025
Recognizing the challenges in peace and security, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Ma. Theresa Lazaro on Saturday, Sept. 27 (New York time), once more pushed for the inclusion of the Philippines in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for a non-permanent seat, underscoring the country's commitment and readiness to pursue global peace.
In a speech delivered during the General Debate at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the DFA chief expressed the Philippines' preparedness to rise to the challenge the world faces today, particularly in advancing justice, equality, peace, and progress.
"This is a challenge that the Philippines is ready to rise up to, as we seek a non-permanent seat in the Security Council for the term 2027 to 2028. We look ahead to the solemn honor of serving this body. The Philippines is committed to contribute to the Security Council in a manner that takes into account the views and concerns of the general UN membership and other principal organs of the United Nations," she said.
"We recognize the weight of the responsibility of the Security Council. When it acts for the interest of humanity, it is a fulcrum of change, a force for good, and a bastion of hope for populations trapped in hopeless situations. We seek to be part of it to help advance the cause of global peace with the depth of experience earned from our struggles for peace," she added.
