Russia will consider inviting the next UN Secretary General to Moscow when he takes office in 2027. About it “RIA Novosti” said Deputy Minister of foreign Affairs of Russia Alexander Alimov.

The new UN Secretary-General is due to take office on 1 January 2027. He will first meet with representatives of UN member states in New York and assemble his team. “After that, we will work out the issue of inviting the head of the secretariat and his staff to the Russian capital,” Alimov said.
