(Hina) - The UN refugee summit is, in a way, the first time that a matrix has been created on how to long term, organised and humanely approach refugees and migrants worldwide, Croatian Foreign Minister Miro Kovač said in New York on Wednesday.

He attended the summit as part of the UN General Assembly and held numerous meetings, among others, with Belarus Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei.

Kovač will attend a working lunch of the US-Adriatic Charter, currently chaired by Croatia, and a meeting of foreign ministers as part of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.

He will also attend the UN General Assembly during Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović's address. She has announced that she will talk about the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is a prerequisite for dealing with the refugee crisis. In all that, Croatia must focus on education, gender equality, and the promotion of the right to security and the right to development.
