Miroslav Lajcak

Whenever there is a need to address an issue that has emerged and the U.N. is expected to deal with, we should be ready to do so.

I do believe we can do more to bring the U.N. closer to the world's citizen and make a real difference in their lives.

Indeed, it is a common goal to create a stronger United Nations able to meet the multitude of expectations placed upon it. To that end, I will facilitate a constructive, informed, and open interaction among Member States and with the Secretary-General.
