Bozkir said, in a letter to all UN member states, that the General Assembly decided to continue the intergovernmental negotiations on Security Council reform at an informal session of the General Assembly during its 75th session.

Appointing Ambassador Sheikha Alya Ahmed Saif Al Thani to this task comes in recognition of the role of the State of Qatar in the United Nations, its belief in the principle of multilateralism and its keenness to develop the mechanisms of work of the international organisation to achieve its goals, including reforming the work of the Security Council.
