The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Christopher P. Lu（卢沛宁） noted in his speech, 'The world is facing this issue at the moment, and I can tell you, some days feel a bit unbearable, but it is during these difficult times that the work we do at the United Nations is most important. It is during these difficult times that we need to find all different ways to celebrate hope, kindness, and compassion, which is why I am so pleased to be here.

The United States is honored to be the co-chair of the Accessibility Action Steering Committee, and the Steering Committee and we take on this leadership role because we know that inclusivity, accessibility, and fairness not only affect our work here but the strong RI effect of 193 countries influences culture and norms. We advocate for the countries that form this organization as co-chairs, to facilitate for the people working here, for the people who come here for tourism, and for the billions of people living here, to be moved by the work we do here.

The United Nations can be a shining city on a hill, followed by others, and this exhibition wonderfully demonstrated the golden standard of accessibility challenges and the various ways we can overcome these challenges. It highlighted the beauty of assistive languages and Braille and the importance of celebrating them by all of us.

The world needs more compassion. We are proud of the progress the United Nations has made in promoting an accessible environment. We look forward to working together to advance this progress. Thank you!'"
