Seychelles reaffirms support for UN Secretary General


(Forimmediaterelease.net) President Michel has pledged the continued support of the Seychelles Government to the United Nations Secretary General, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, following his re-appointment for a second five year term in his post.

In a congratulatory letter sent, President Michel saluted the efforts and leadership of Mr. Ban Ki-Moon in key areas such as concerns of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), the scourge of piracy and the challenges of climate change.

“Your reappointment is also a momentous recognition of your invaluable contributions and pivotal role in promoting the key role of the UN in international affairs during your mandate. Seychelles will continue to work closely with you and all other Member States in our quest for a greater role by the UN in safeguarding world peace, promoting sustainable development and enhancing multifaceted international cooperation," said the President,

“We count on your support to continue pressing for the cause of smaller nations like ours, the SIDS, which are rendered increasingly disadvantaged and marginalized by the unstable world economy and climate change."

Mr. Ban Ki-Moon's second term will commence as of January 1, 2012.
