The annual session of the United Nations General Assembly provides a platform for global leaders to address the world. However, these speeches often lack fresh ideas or inspiration, filled instead with familiar statements. Despite being a small nation of fewer than 300,000 people, ranked 186th in population and 196th in land area with just 430 square kilometers, Barbados, under the leadership of Prime Minister Mia Mottley, stands out.
Anyone who has witnessed her speak knows that she’s among the most insightful and eloquent leaders on the global stage. Her address to the General Assembly on September 27th this year was no exception. You should see it for yourself.
