The United Nations kicked off the selection of its next Secretary -General on Friday, asking the 193 U.N. member states to submit candidates to be the world organization’s chief diplomat and operating officer.
The process officially began with a joint letter signed virtually by General Assembly President Volkan Bozkir and Britain’s U.N. Ambassador Barbara Woodward, this month’s president of the Security Council opening the nomination of candidates.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, whose current term expires on Dec. 31, announced last month that he is seeking a second five-year term.
