My message is clear:
To the USA & Israel:
It is high time to stop the war that is inflicting immense human suffering & triggering devastating economic consequences.
To Iran:
Stop attacking your neighbours.
Conflicts end when leaders choose dialogue over destruction.
That choice still exists.
And it must be made now.
Everyone has the right to live free from poverty & the chance to thrive.
Yet millions are forced to choose between food, shelter or education.
Every efforts must be made to eradicate poverty so all people, everywhere, can live with dignity & prosperity. https://t.co/CrmkDzqJcN

Today is March 14 (3.14) – Pi day.
The date today resembles 3.14159, the common approximation of the mathematical constant Pi, or π. This concurrence has given rise to an annual celebration from 1:59 pm - also the time of publication of this post (CET).
What is Pi?
Understanding Pi is essential if you want to make calculations for circles, cylinders, spheres, and anything circular, even an ellipse. Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It doesn't matter how big or small the circle is - the ratio stays the same. Properties like this that stay the same when you change other attributes are called constants.
How are you celebrating Pi day?

“Let’s act responsibly & together to pull the region & our world back from the brink.”
In the Security Council, @antonioguterres calls for immediate cessation of hostilities & de-escalation in the Middle East.
https://t.co/UWmLu0oW6D
I condemn the military escalation in the Middle East today.
The strikes by the US & Israel against Iran & the subsequent attacks by Iran undermine international security.
These actions carry the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world.
Lasting peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, including genuine dialogue and negotiations.
The @UN Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace & security.
