Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera delivered a speech at the United Nations General Assembly on September 23, 2023, in which he called for a more equitable and just world. He began by reminding world leaders that their decisions will influence future generations, and that it is insufficient to ask for more trust, global solidarity, peace, and prosperity for all when their actions cause the opposite.

Chakwera then turned to the issue of debt, which he said is a major obstacle to development in Malawi and other African countries. He called on world leaders to cancel the debt of developing countries so that they can invest in their people and economies. He also urged financial institutions to be more flexible and responsive to the needs of developing countries.

In addition to debt, Chakwera also spoke about other challenges facing Malawi and other African countries, such as climate change, poverty, and inequality. He called on the international community to work together to address these challenges and create a more sustainable and equitable world for all.

One of the most captivating parts of Chakwera's speech was his call for a more just and equitable world. He said:

"The world we live in is not a just world. It is not an equitable world. It is a world where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It is a world where the powerful exploit the weak. It is a world where the privileged are protected and the marginalized are ignored."

Chakwera then went on to say that we need to create a world where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. He said that we need to build a world where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.

Chakwera's speech was a powerful call for change. It was a reminder that we need to work together to create a more just and equitable world for all.
