Following is UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s speech to the European Forum on The International Financial Crisis and the Millennium Development Goals, in Alpbach, 4 September:
It is a pleasure to be back in Alpbach. My visit last year was so rewarding that I simply had to return.
Not only that, I have brought the senior leadership of the United Nations with me. We are also joined by the whole Security Council. For this weekend at least, Alpbach is a major United Nations Headquarters, like Vienna is throughout the year.
Thank you for welcoming us all into your midst.
We are here because of the Alpbach spirit.
