9월 19일부터 21일까지 뉴욕에서 차기 유엔 사무총장 후보 네 분—레베카 그린스판 UNCTAD 사무총장, 캐롤린 로드리게스-버켓 주유엔 가이아나대사, 마리아 페르난다 에스피노사 전 유엔총회의장, 라파엘 그로시 IAEA 사무총장—과 각각 만났습니다.
후보들과 저는 장기화되는 무력 분쟁 등 국제 현안에 대응하기 위해 유엔 중심의 다자주의를 강화하고, 유엔을 더욱 효과적이고 책임성 있는 조직으로 개혁해야 한다는 데 뜻을 같이했습니다. 후보들은 유엔 개혁에 대한 회원국의 지지를 모으는 과정에서 한국의 역할이 중요하다고 강조했습니다.
차기 유엔 사무총장의 리더십이 그 어느 때보다 중요한 시점입니다. 우리는 지난 6월 제주포럼에서 ‘유엔 사무총장 후보자 대담’을 개최한 데 이어, 글로벌 책임강국으로서 투명하고 포용적인 사무총장 선출 과정에 지속적으로 기여해 나가겠습니다.
From September 19 to 21, I met individually in New York with four candidates for the next UN Secretary-General—Rebeca Grynspan(@RGrynspan), Secretary-General of UNCTAD; Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Permanent Representative of Guyana to the UN; María Fernanda Espinosa(@mfespinosaEC), former President of the UN General Assembly; and Rafael Grossi(@rafaelmgrossi), Director General of the IAEA.
We agreed on the need to strengthen UN-centered multilateralism and reform the UN into a more effective and accountable organization to address global challenges, including protracted armed conflicts. The candidates underscored Korea’s important role in building Member State support for UN reform.
Leadership from the next UN Secretary-General is more critical than ever. Following the “Dialogue with Candidates for UN Secretary-General” held at the Jeju Forum in June, Korea will continue to contribute, as a responsible global power, to a transparent and inclusive selection process.
