[UAH] Sam Kutesa endorsed for the candidacy for President of the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly for the period 2014-2015

The African Union Executive Council, composed of African Ministers responsible for Foreign Affairs, has unanimously endorsed Hon. Sam Kutesa's  candidacy for President of the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly for the period 2014-2015.

 

The endorsement followed a decision by the Government of Cameroon to withdraw its candidate, Foreign Minister Pierre Moukoko who was also vying for the position, in favour of Uganda's candidate.  Cameroon's decision to withdraw, said Minister Moukoko, was based on the need to further promote the friendly relations existing between the two countries, as well as maintaining African solidarity for international posts and positions.
