Natalia Gherman proceeds to Egypt after vising China and Japan

Dr. Jassim Taqui

The Moldavian candidate to the post of the UN Secretary General Ms. Natalia Gherman told Al-Bab that she had another successful visit to Japan following her visit to China. On 28 June, Gherman is planning to visit Egypt. She is scheduled to have a meeting with the Egyptian Foreign Minister Saheh Hassan Shoukry.

Gherman is confident that her chances are bright, hoping that she will be elected the next UN Secretary General.

Many factors tilt the balance in Gherman’s favor. First, she is a woman from East Asia. UN circles whisper that the UN Security Council five members have almost consensus that the next UN Secretary General should be a woman from East Europe. This is the reason that out of four candidates for the post of UN Secretary General, there are three women from East Asia, namely, Natalia Gherman (Moldova), Musna Pusic (Croatia) and Irina Bokovo (Bulgaria). The fourth woman is Helen Clark from New Zealand.

Second, Ms. Natalia Gherman is the youngest of the four women. She is 47 years old compared with Clark (66), Bokovo (63) and  Pusic (62).

The new trend is focused on electing more energetic UN Secretary General who should be close to the young world generation. Ms. Natalia Gherman is the most qualified to represent the aspiration of the world young generation.

Linguistically, Ms. Natalia Gherman speaks English, Russian and German languages fluently. This, along with her vast diplomatic skills, would enable her also to communicate well with the majority of 193-member UN members.

One would wish Ms. Natalia Gherman good luck and pray for her success.
