UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon returns to New York today after meetings with Portugal’s president and prime minister, in which Portugal’s contribution to the UN and the Syrian refugee crisis will be discussed.
The UN secretary general discussed the situations in Brazil and Mozambique with Foreign Minister Augusto Santos Silva at a meeting in Lisbon which covered Portuguese contribution to the UN for “peacekeeping, the Law of the Sea and other maritime questions”.
Ban Ki-moon’s visit has included encounters with Syrian students studying in Portugal, following which, according to his spokesman Stephane Dujarric, Ban praised their “strength and resilience”.
Dujarric said that Ban noted that an increasing number of students from Syria failed to follow their dreams and aspirations, and too few of the country’s refugees were able to continue their education.
The new president of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and Prime Minister António Costa were to meet with the UN chief before his return to New York at the end of a trip which has included Mauritius, Madagascar and the Seychelles.
