Libyan wins post of UN General Assembly president

JUNE 11, 2009 00:29

The next president of the UN General Assembly will be a Libyan politician in charge of the nation's dealings with the Africa Union. Ali Abdessalam Treki, Libya's minister for AU affairs, won election by acclamation rather than a vote Wednesday in the General Assembly, the world's forum for debate among 192 member nations. The one-year post rotates among nations on a regional basis. Treki will assume the job when the assembly convenes in mid-September for its annual high-level ministerial debate attended by heads of state. He will replace Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, a Roman Catholic priest and former Nicaraguan foreign minister in the 1980s during the rule of the Sandinistas.
