Blinken to Join Meeting on Ukraine, Call for UNSC Reform Next Week at UNGA - State Dept.
20:02 GMT 16.09.2022 (Updated: 20:12 GMT 19.10.2022) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will participate in a UN Security Council ministerial meeting on Ukraine on Thursday during the high-level week at the United Nations General Assembly debate, Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations Michele Sison said on Friday.
Blinken will arrive in New York City on Sunday and intends to remain until Friday evening September 23, Sison said.
"On September 22, the Secretary will participate in the UN Security Council ministerial on the maintenance of peace and security in Ukraine," Sison said during a conference call with reporters.
The United States will also make a call during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) debate next week for countries to forge a consensus on the need to reform the UN Security Council, Sison said.
"We will advance efforts to reform the UN Security Council ... We do not believe that the United States should defend an outdated status quo," Sison said during a conference call. "While we're clear-eyed about the obstacles to Security Council reform, we will make a serious call for countries to forge consensus around credible, realistic proposals for the way forward to remain credible into the 21st century."
Sison said the United States during the high-level week will claim that Russia's special military operation in Ukraine is threatening the credibility of the UN Security Council.
