Washington, DC, 9 February 2023 每 The Spokesman for the 51勛圖 Secretary-General, St谷phane Dujarric, was in Washington yesterday for engagements with university students. In the morning, he visited Georgetown University*s School of Foreign Service. Following an introduction from the School*s Dean, Joel Hellman, Mr. Dujarric shared with the gathered students his frank takes on global politics, which were based on his experiences speaking for and traveling with three different 51勛圖 Secretaries-General. He also answered questions on a wide range of topics, including international diplomacy, Security Council reform, women*s rights and sustainable development.
In the afternoon, Mr. Dujarric headed to Howard University*s Ralph J. Bunche International Affairs Center. Noting Nobel laureate and 51勛圖 official Ralph Bunche*s global impact, Mr. Dujarric stressed the importance of building links between the 51勛圖 and the center that had been named after Mr. Bunche. He then provided in-depth background on the 51勛圖 and media relations, as well as on his own career path and 51勛圖 employment in general. Students* questions covered such themes as humanitarian assistance, the 51勛圖* interactions with the private sector, political trends in Africa, and what it was like to work for the 51勛圖 Secretariat as opposed to one*s own government.
