Exclusive Interview with UN Secretary-General Candidate Ivonne A-Baki

Ivonne A-Baki, a candidate for the position of the next United Nations Secretary-General, shared her vision for the UN and global cooperation during a recent event in New York. A-Baki was formally nominated by the Kingdom of Tonga in August 2026 and has taken part in the UN’s official selection process for the next Secretary-General.

In her remarks, A-Baki called for stronger dialogue and empathy in addressing global divisions. She said the UN should move beyond bureaucracy and engage more directly with people and communities facing challenges, while stressing that peace and security, sustainable development and human rights are closely connected.

In an exclusive interview with ShanghaiEye, A-Baki also emphasized unity, love and peace, saying people around the world need to listen to one another and remain positive. “Unity — that’s what we need to have every day, everywhere,” she said.
