UNITED NATIONS, Feb  26 – Linda Thomas-Greeneld, the new US  ambassador to the United Nations, on Thursday said that diplomacy is about “managing points of differentiation” while making her debut at the world body.

“Throughout my time representing America all over the world, I found that diplomacy is about showing compassion. It’s about managing points of differentiation, and it’s about bringing people together,” Thomas-Greeneld, who was conrmed to be the top US  UN envoy by the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, told reporters at the UN headquarters in New York after ocially presenting the credentials to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

According to Xinhua news agency, the senior US  diplomat, who has been serving as a US  diplomat for more than 35 years, underscored that the United Nations is the world’s “most important forum for bringing people in countries together.”

“I take that seriously as a US diplomat,” she noted.

Thomas-Greeneld said that “we’re clear-eyed about the dicult work that needs to be done from elevating human rights to reforming the UN itself, to addressing conflicts, old and new, around the world.”

The new envoy, who was preceded by Kelly Craft, stressed that she was “particularly” looking forward to U.S. presidency of the Security Council in March.

“We’re ready to work,” she concluded.
