NEW YORK CITY: The UN said on Thursday that its work will continue despite an announcement by the US late on Wednesday that it was withdrawing from 66 international organizations, including 31 UN entities. “Our work will continue,” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said at the UN headquarters in New York. “The secretary-general respects the sovereignty of each of the members of this organization, and he also strongly believes that the challenges that we face today can only be solved through international cooperation. That’s been his view since he started on day one.
