UN’s incoming secretary-general meets Russia’s Putin
MOSCOW — The United Nation’s incoming secretary-general has met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said his good relations with Russia prove he will excel in his new role.
Antonio Guterres met with Putin in the Kremlin on Thursday in one of his first foreign visits after he was elected to lead the U.N.
Putin, who first met Guterres in 2000 when he was Portugal’s prime minister, said he was hopeful Guterres’ tenure will help to make the U.N.’s role more prominent in conflict resolution and global decision-making.
