Trieste celebrates United Nations Day this Sunday, 24 October, by placing the UN flag on the region’s headquarters in Piazza Oberdan.
UN was founded on 24 October, 1945 and each year, the Organization reaffirms the purposes and principles that have guided it for the past 76 years.
Four flags – UN, EU, Italy, FVG – will be placed today on the region’s headquarters building which will signify “peace and unity.”
“The last 20 months have been an extraordinarily difficult and even isolating moment for the human family”, said president of regional council, Mauro Zonin.
“Today, let us watch as one, listen as one, and be inspired as one. And let us commit, once again, to the UN Charter and the values that have brought it to life for the last 76 years – peace, dignity and prosperity for all”.
