The candidacy of @Macky_Sall for Secretary-General of the United Nations is opportune. His experience, credibility, moderation and clear understanding of today’s global challenges make him a strong candidate to lead the Organization at this critical time.
Having worked with him for eight years while serving as Chairperson of the African Union Commission —including during his presidency of the African Union—I've witnessed his leadership and diplomatic skill first-hand. He has the rare ability to build consensus across diverse interests.
His leadership at the UN could also strengthen Africa’s role in global decision-making and help revive international cooperation grounded in the founding principles of the United Nations.
At a moment when the world urgently needs renewed multilateralism, his selection could help open a new Chapter—one focused on Peace, Stability, and shared Prosperity for all.
