Storyline

United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his election as the 45th President of the United States and called on the new administration to “strengthen the bonds of international cooperation.”

Speaking to the press today (9 Nov), Ban said after an “often divisive campaign”, it was worth “reaffirming that the unity in diversity of the United States is one of the country’s greatest strengths.” He said, “Now more than ever, we must mobilize around the principles and common values of the United Nations Charter.”

The Secretary General also expressed his deep appreciation to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for a “lifetime commitment to peace, the advancement of women and the well-being of children.” He said Clinton had been “a powerful global symbol of women’s empowerment” and had no doubt that she would continue to contribute to the UN’s work across the world.
