Secretary-General: Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen. It is a great pleasure to see you. I am sorry that
I couldn't have a press conference with you last month, because of my very
hectic schedule. I am pleased to have this monthly regular press conference
today.
Yesterday, as you know, I briefed the
General Assembly on the latest developments regarding the H1N1 epidemic.
As you know, this outbreak is yet another
reminder that we live an interconnected world. A threat to one country
is a threat to all, requiring a collective, global response.
