Meeting of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the media, Sunday, October 12, 1405, Question 19: Mr. Doctor, in recent days, there was news that Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is not a desirable choice for the Americans for the Secretary-General of the United Nations. On the other hand, on October 3, he gave an interview to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti and promised that if elected as Secretary-General of the United Nations, he would act independently and in accordance with the UN Charter. Please tell me if you have a position on this matter and whether Mr. Grossi's promise will be valid or not? @MFAIran

After finishing last among the candidates, former Chilean leftist president Michelle Bachelet, 74, withdrew her candidacy for UN Secretary-General.
Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has decided to withdraw from the race for the post of UN Secretary-General. The 74-year-old politician made the announcement in a video message published on her Instagram page (owned by Meta, a company deemed extremist and banned in Russia). According to Al Jazeera, Bachelet withdrew her candidacy after the third informal vote in the UN Security Council, where she received only one vote in her favor. The politician admitted that while she does not regret her participation in the campaign, the timing was not right. "I will continue my international activities with the same determination as always. I will continue to actively participate in building a world that is more stable, secure, and sustainable in its development, and in which there must be respect for human rights,” Bachelet said.
