Summary
The UN said the secretary-general will travel to Copenhagen to chair the biannual Chief Executives Board meeting, will meet Denmark's prime minister, and that the UN80 initiative and Cyprus personal envoy appointment were topics at the briefing.
The United Nations announced that the secretary-general will travel to Copenhagen to chair the biannual meeting of the UN system Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB). The spokesperson said the secretary-general is scheduled to meet Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, attend a dinner hosted by the Danish king and queen, and engage with UN staff and Danish media while in Copenhagen.
Chief executives attending the biannual CEB session are expected to reflect on current world affairs, deliberations on adapting to new realities, and leveraging the UN80 initiative. The spokesperson said the CEB would discuss the UN80 (sometimes presented as UNAD/UN80 in internal briefings) initiative during the coming week and that updates would follow as the initiative proceeds; Guy Ryder of the Executive Office was named as presiding over the initiative work.
Separately, the secretary-general appointed Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar of Colombia as his personal envoy on Cyprus. The spokesperson said the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot leaders welcomed the reappointment and that she is expected to visit Cyprus in the coming weeks to engage on next steps following an informal meeting in Geneva in March.
Ending: The secretary-general is expected back in New York on Friday evening; the briefing said no additional information about participation in a separate climate ministerial in Copenhagen was available at the time.
