Kofi Annan Anniversary Lecture
UN secretary general Kofi Annan's speech on the 70th anniversary of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service
"We all live on the same planet, buffeted by the same winds, influenced by the same currents of change. Instead of acting on what unites us, seizing common opportunities and defending against shared threats, we allow a chasm to persist between us... this gulf is an affront to human dignity. We need to mend this great divide with the new fabric of solidarity."
UN secretary general Kofi Annan gives a speech from the headquarters of the United Nations in New York on the 70th anniversary of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service.
