first major public appearance in the UK.
In the speech, entitled ‘Securing the
Common Good: The United Nations and the
Expanding Global Agenda’, Mr Ban praised
UNA-UK’s role in cultivating
constructive UK government engagement
with the UN and in ‘explaining the UN to
the UK while helping to convey the
concerns of British citizens to the UN’.
He said that the international
community had ‘a unique opportunity to
enhance the UN’s central role in world
affairs’ to deliver results for a more
prosperous, more secure and more just
world.
