Thank you for your very kind words and for your trust. I am

deeply moved by your tributes.

Serving as Secretary-General of this great organization, has

been a great privilege for me of a lifetime.

As some of you said, I am a child of the United Nations.

After the Korean War, UN aid fed us. UN textbooks taught us. UN

global solidarity showed us we were not alone.

For me, the power of the United Nations was never abstract or

academic.

It is the story of my life, and many Korean people. It is a

story of many millions, and millions of people around the world, many

children, young boys and girls.

This profound appreciation grew even stronger every day during

my rvice with the United Nations.

For the past ten years, I have been honoured to rve alongside

the many courageous, dedicated and talented women and men of the United

Nations.

I have en the power of international cooperation in taking on

our most pressing challenges.

And I have en the United Nations open its doors wider than

ever to civil society and many partners to help us transform our world.

Together, we have faced years filled with challenge:

The worst financial collap since the Great Depression.

Eruptions of conflict and uprisings for freedom.

Record numbers of people fleeing war, percution and poverty.

Disruptions brought by dia, disasters and a rapidly warming

planet. This turmoil tested us. Despite huge difficulties, we helped

save lives and protect tens of millions.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris

Agreement on climate change have opened a pathway to a safer, more just

and peaceful world for all of us.

The empowerment of women took great strides during the years.

Youth took on new levels of leadership. New mindts took hold.

Day by day, brick by brick, we built stronger foundations for

peace and progress.

Yet, so much suffering and strife endure.

So many women and children face violence and exploitation. So

many people face hatred solely becau of who they are.

And so many problems have proven intractable - none more than

the bloodshed in Syria and the upheaval it spawned.

(以下部分为法语)

Les pays sont plus interdépendants que jamais. Les économies

sont plus intégrées que jamais. Les personnes sont plus interconnectées

que jamais.

Affirmer que des solutions internationales rvent les intérêts

nationaux mble une évidence.

Et pourtant, nombreux sont ceux qui remettent en question les

institutions mondiales, les considérant comme détachées de la réalité et

impuissantes à agir.

D’autres, nombreux aussi, y voient un déficit d’autorité

croissant à l’échelle planétaire.

Tous, où que nous soyons, avons le droit de vivre à l’abri du

besoin et de la peur – le droit d’envisager l’avenir avec espoir –

et le droit de nous considérer comme liés par les normes consacrées dans

notre Charte fondatrice.

Ces buts et ces idéaux ne sont pas un luxe ou une monnaie

d’échange. Ils sont ce que les peuples réclament et méritent, non dans

un avenir lointain, mais aujourd’hui même. Ils sont aussi pertinents

pour les habitants des pays les plus riches que pour ceux des pays les

plus pauvres.

Ces principes doivent continuer d’animer et de guider nos

travaux.

Tous, nous devons dépasr les intérêts nationaux étriqués, dans

un esprit éclairé par le souci du bien de la communauté internationale

que nous sommes.

As I contemplate how well we have upheld that responsibility

across a decade in office, a kaleidoscope of faces is at the forefront

of my mind -- memories of my visits to the frontlines of human need and

the frontiers of human progress.

I have maintained a focus on people’s dignity and rights -- the

pillars of our common humanity.

I have sought to stand up for the vulnerable and tho left

behind today.

And I have tried to be sure that we are doing all we can so that

future generations can live in peace.

Even as I prepare to leave, my heart will stay as it has since I

was a child – right here with the United Nations.

And that heart is greatly comforted knowing that I am passing

the baton to Secretary-General António Guterres, a man of integrity and

principle.

I have no doubt that he, with his passion and compassion, will

successfully navigate many complex challenges and steer the Organization

to new and higher heights.

I would also like to express my most profound appreciation to my

home country, the Korean people and the Government.

Their wholehearted support for the past ten years has been a

great source of encouragement in working proudly for peace, development

and human rights across the world. I also take this opportunity to

express my deepest thanks to Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson for

his outstanding leadership and compassion for humanity. Thank you, and

thank you to many other hardworking staff.

In closing, I wish the new Secretary-General, and all of our

Member States, peace, prosperity and every success.

It has been an honour to rve our United Nations, and work

together with you, and for “We the Peoples”.

I thank you all for your support and your continued commitment

to the noble purpos and principles of the United Nations.
