“We the peoples of the United Nations…” have worked together striving for development and better life for our future generations for already 70 years. And this year, on the 70th Anniversary of the United Nations and 70th Anniversary of these global partnerships and international bonds, we would like to celebrate our achievements. And this is how we, the United Nations in Belarus, are going to do this: we are going on a journey. A journey around Belarus. Together.
On 23 October our UN70 Belarus Express for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will depart from Minsk Train Station. On board shall we gather Government officials and UN staff along with representatives of UN member states and a wide range of stakeholders including civil society, private sector partners, youth, artists and representatives of vulnerable groups.
On the route from Hrodna to Brest (25th October) the Model United Nations will be held on board of the train. The route is planning to take place on 24-26th October and the participation will be fully covered by the UN Representation in Belarus.
