In his message, delivered by Dame Margaret Anstee, former United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Angola, the Secretary-General commends the important meeting and cites five essential areas for collective action: sustainable development, prevention, building a more secure world, supporting countries in transition and empowering the world's women and young people.
