SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General: "The United Nations was built on a fundamental conviction: dialogue is the path to peace. On this First International Day for Dialogue Among Civilizations, we celebrate that conviction, and the rich diversity of civilizations as a force to promote mutual understanding and global solidarity. Today, that mission is more urgent than ever. Where dialogue is missing, ignorance fills the void. Around the world, we hear rising voices of intolerance and xenophobia, amplified by online misinformation and hate speech. In our fractured world, dialogue is not optional – it is essential for building bridges of understanding and trust."; FILE: UN Headquarters, New York City - Date Unknown 4. UN headquarters; 5.
