Speech by Katalin Novák at the 77th UN General Assembly - New York
“It has perhaps always been the case that the waging of peace is the hardest form of leadership of all. I know of no single formula for success, but over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal, and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration, to work together.”
A quote from the speech of Her Majesty, the late Elizabeth II from 2010, delivered here, at the United Nations General Assembly.
Final farewell to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II
The world is mourning a leader who dedicated her whole life to the service of her nation.
We have lost a leader for whom her Christian faith was a day-to-day reality.
A leader who could remain calm, measured, wise and dignified in the most difficult situations.
Someone who knew what a treasure peace is.
We Hungarians are grateful to her also because she understood us and accepted and respected the different historical, geographical and cultural characteristics of nations.
We strive to remain worthy of her legacy.
God rest her soul!
