The US has voiced its support for a woman to lead the United Nations, saying “there is no reason” why a female cannot be elected as the next Secretary General of the world organisation.

“Could be a woman, absolutely. There is no reason why not,” US Representative to the United Nations Economic and Social Council and Alternate Representative of the United States to the Sessions of the General Assembly Ambassador Dan Negrea said Wednesday.

Negrea responded to a question by PTI on a woman leading the United Nations as its next Secretary General.

Negrea was addressing a press briefing organised by the New York Foreign Press Centre here on ‘Outcomes of the High-Level Forum on the US Trade Over Aid Initiative’.

The briefing was held a day after the US Mission to the UN hosted a Trade Over Aid Forum on the margins of the United Nations High-Level Political Forum.
