During the 70th annual U.N. General Assembly session, Zuckerberg discussed the “importance of connectivity in achieving the U.N.’s sustainable development goals.” He was scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the United Nations Private Sector Forum, where U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were also scheduled to speak.
"Connecting the world is one of the fundamental challenges of our generation," Zuckerberg said. "More than 4 billion people don't have a voice online."
