UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called to avoid "a new Cold War" between the US and China during his speech at the General Debate of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly.

Axar.az reports that, the statement came from UN Secretary General.

"The world needs a global ceasefire to stop all "hot" conflicts. At the same time, we must do everything to avoid a new Cold War," he said.

"We are moving in a very dangerous direction," Guterres added. "Our world cannot afford a future where the two largest economies split the globe in a Great Fracture — each with its own trade and financial rules and internet and artificial intelligence capacities. A technological and economic divide risks inevitably turning into a geo-strategic and military divide. We must avoid this at all costs."
