UN, World Bank chiefs ask Áder to serve on Panel on Water
Budapest, February 13 (MTI) – The UN’s secretary general and the president of the World Bank have jointly invited President János Áder to serve as member of the Panel on Water the two organisations have convened.
Csaba Kőrösi, directorate chief at the president’s office, told a press conference on Saturday that Ader accepted the request.
The panel is planned to be formally set up for a two-year term in April in New York and will be composed of 11 heads of state and government and two special advisors, Kőrösi said.
The panel will promote sustainable management of water on a global scale and more effective adaptation to climate change.
Korosi welcomed the assignment as a “great honour” for Hungary, noting that this is the first time in the United Nations’ history that a Hungarian politician is asked to join a high-level panel on a global issue.
