UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will travel to Turin, Italy, with a three-day retreat of senior UN staff there. Mr. Ban will chair the retreat, taking place at the UN Staff College, with Under-Secretaries-General and Assistant Secretaries-General in attendance, UN spokesperson Michele Montas told reporters.
Participants will discuss UN global issues and reforms, focusing on delivering results, during a series of intensive meetings, she said. The meetings will also consider the UN’s readiness and capacity to perform its duties, particularly in promoting peace and security.
Ms. Montas said the retreat “provides an opportunity for the UN’s senior managers to explore and propose ways of better managing the Organization, and improving its effectiveness. Apart from these concrete objectives, it is expected that the retreat would promote unity of purpose and common understanding of the UN and its priorities.”
