"We are saying that we are supporting UN system ... because the United Nations are paving the way to a better future for humanity, the United Nations are the corner stone of multilateralism and European Union will always be the partner of the United Nations and of Antonio Guterres," Juncker told reporters at a joint briefing with the UN chief.

Juncker also noted that the multilateral approach was still alive and it should be preserved.
