Gen to lead UN reformsPresident Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-AddoPresident Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on the new Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, to take the lead in effecting reforms at the UN so as to promote and deepen international co-operation. Nearly 12 years down the line, Mr Akufo-Addo lamented the fact that little progress had been made since the drawing up of the Consensus in Swaziland. He, thus, urged Mr Guterres to hasten efforts towards the full realisation of this consensus. Therefore, in his view, the global order has to be urgently reformed to enable Africa play a central role in world affairs.
