The many Permanent Representatives in attendance,
Ladies and Gentlemen
Thank you so much Kofi Annan for your generous words of introduction. There is no person alive today who has made a greater contribution to world peace than you, and thanks are due to you from all around the world.
It is a pleasure for me to share this beautiful evening with all of you, and what a special honor it is to be receiving from the United Nations Foundation its “Champion of Change Award.” I must also say that it is a very humbling experience – especially as I look around this room at so many people who have truly been outstanding “Champions of Change” in so many fields of endeavour – including the others being honored tonight. I am indeed humbled to be in their presence.
