UN Sec-Gen will continue to prioritize digital in 2nd term; as he said today:
"We are all faced with a digital divide that is turning into a digital Grand Canyon. The aim must be an open, free and secure digital future. Our Digital Roadmap launched last year points the way."
I am deeply honoured and grateful for the trust placed in me to serve as the Secretary-General of the United Nations for a second term.
Serving the @UN is an immense privilege and a most noble duty.
