Dear friends,

Ladies and gentlemen,

Yesterday, the world marked the United Nations Day. We celebrated it under the motto UN4You. What does it mean?

We think that our primary task is to help those who need it most, and that is why I am here to draw your attention to the issue of disability. In Russia, about 13 million people have a certain form of disability, including 500 thousand children.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Yakovenko,

Excellences, Ambassadors,

Distinguished guests,

Friends and colleagues,

Ladies and gentlemen,

And I would like to specifically thank our host, Zurab Tseretely, a famous artist and a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador.

New York, 24 October 2009 - On this United Nations Day and every day throughout the year, the United Nations is at work -- for the planet, for jobs, for “we the peoples”.
