New York (IINA) – The United Nations General Assembly has elected by acclamation Mogens Lykketoft of Denmark as President of its upcoming 70th session, UN News Center reported.
Addressing delegates immediately after his election on Monday at UN Headquarters in New York, Lykketoft, who has served both as Denmark’s Foreign and Finance Minister, declared that his presidency would be marked by a “commitment to action” towards building “a more fair and stable world” in line with the objectives set out by the UN Millennium Development Goals.
Lykketoft took care to point out the three priorities that, he said, would define his mandate, including a commitment to action, a surge in UN efforts to cement international peace and security, and a clear effort to support further progress for human rights.
He also stated that the focus must remain on rebooting the UN’s unique form of multilateralism which, in turn, fosters trust and hope in global solutions.
