Prince Rainier III at the United Nations Millennium
Summit, during which He gave a speech to an assembly of
more than 150 heads-of-state. He spoke of balancing the
economic and financial forces propelling these prosperous
times with human rights and peaceful, harmonious
relations among nations. Calling the beginning of the
21st century "a time of dreams and utopia,"
H.S.H. Prince Albert equally noted that in a period of

often disregarded. Speaking for the Principality of

that serves as a moral reference-point in order to guide
world affairs with honesty and high-mindedness."
