   “The agreement was signed on Friday, September 25, 2026, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, on the sidelines of the high-level meeting of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly. Recorded because it names the signing venue, which the press release does not, and because its headline describes the instrument differently from its own body text.”
