The presidency of the UN Security Council has passed to the UK for one month

The presidency of the UN Security Council passed for one month to Great Britain, which is a permanent member of the Security Council. Switzerland held the chairmanship in October.

At 13:00 New York time at the UN headquarters there will be a press conference of the permanent representative of Great Britain to the UN Barbara Woodward, during which journalists will be announced the program of meetings of the key structure of the world organization.

It is possible that one of the first meetings of the Security Council under the leadership of Great Britain will be held on Monday, November 4. A UN source told TASS on Thursday that Britain, Malta, Slovenia, the United States, France, South Korea and Japan have requested a meeting of the UN Security Council for November 4 in connection with the DPRK missile launch.

At the same time, it is expected that during October the main topic of the meetings of the UNSC members will traditionally be the situation in the Middle East, in particular in the Gaza Strip and on the Israeli-Lebanese border. In total, the UN Security Council will hold about 20 public meetings and closed consultations during the month.
