The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a telephone conversation with the President of Argentina Javier Milei, the newly appointed Prime Minister of Iceland Bjarni Benediktsson and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. The Head of State has personally invited them to take part in the Global Peace Summit that will be held on June 15-16 in Switzerland.
“I am grateful to each of them for their desire to bring international law back to full effect. We will continue to be equally active — all the continents, all the countries' views should be represented at the Peace Summit,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his evening address.
The Head of State thanked the Prime Minister of Iceland for his willingness to use personal contacts in Africa to involve as many countries of the Global South as possible in the Summit.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew on Easter, thanked His All Holiness for his prayers and called his participation in the Global Summit highly symbolic.
In a conversation with Javier Milei, the President thanked Argentina for supporting the Ukrainian Peace Formula and assured that the voice of Latin America in Switzerland is very important.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy added that today he had also held a detailed meeting with the Ukrainian team preparing the event.
“The organization of the Summit is already elaborated. We still have tasks to accomplish — so that every leader can demonstrate their effectiveness for the sake of common interests. We are sure it will happen. And this is exactly — we have to realize it — what Russia is trying to disrupt now. The more meaningful the Summit is, the closer peace will be,” the President emphasized.
