Mr. Kofi Annan is one of Africa’s greatest sons, whose commitment in the new millennium has been to work tirelessly towards the achievement of world peace; to mobilize international resources for the reduction of abject poverty in the developing countries, and to support global initiatives to fight the scourge of HIV/AIDS, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.

Mr. Annan’s quiet diplomacy has not only earned him a Nobel Peace Prize, but has had an inspirational effect on and gained respect and recognition from world leaders and the general populace.
