President Obama is scheduled to meet with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at 2:55 p.m. ET Thursday at the White House.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement last week, “The President looks forward to welcoming the Secretary General back to the White House and consulting with him on key issues, including the crisis in Syria, and expressing his gratitude for the many sacrifices United Nations personnel have made to protect vulnerable populations and to deliver aid to those most in need. This meeting is a demonstration of the robust partnership between this United States and the United Nations in facing a wide array of global challenges.”
