We are fortunate to have a Secretary-General of tremendous integrity, insight and courage in a world where all too often ‘negotiation’ only means the humiliation of one’s adversary. His quiet, dignified, perseverant diplomacy is not only effective, it is exemplary of what the United Nations can and must be. It is time to stand with the peacemakers and follow with both caution and strength every promising path away from violence and confrontation. It is a time to walk with the UN leader.
The gratitude of the international interfaith community to Secretary-General Kofi Annan is immense and our affirmation of his exhibited skill and courage is profound.
Thank you, Mr. Secretary-General.From:Sri Chinmoy,Kofi Annan: Cynosure-Eyes, Agni Press, 2002
