Austria Ideal candidate for seat in the UN Security Council

“Austria is an ideal candidate for the non-independent seat in the UN Security Council for the period 2027 to 2028. Because in our times today, the international community needs courageous defenders of multilateralism and a rule-based world order,” emphasizes ÖVP MP Andreas Minnich on the occasion of today’s National Council debate about the integration of the parliament. The “red-white-red diplomacy” can make an important contribution to the world in the UN Security Council, as has already been demonstrated for many decades in the context of countless UN peace missions, at nuclear discussions or OSCE dialogues at the highest level.

Minnich further: “The world order, as we have known in the past decades, has come under great pressure. National sole races, geopolitical tensions, crises and wars have become everyday life again. It is all the more important to act and make a contribution to peace – on the foundation of international law and the rule of law. The candidacy for the non-independent seat in the United Nations Security Council is not only a turning point for Austria’s international role, but also a catalyst for the domestic business location and its international position. “Vienna as the seat of international organizations is particularly important. The more than 50 international organizations, which have their official in the federal capital, ensure gross added value of 1.7 billion euros per year and 16,000 jobs,” says the Mandatar of the People’s Party.

In the direction of the freedom, Minnich appeals to “more patriotism and support” against the background of the candidacy in Austria. Finally, Andreas Minnich underlines: “Together we strongly make ourselves strong for our country. We see the chances of being able to convey our canon of values. Then this candidacy can be successful and we will be able to contribute positively and in the sense of peace.” (Ending)
