Press Conference on 50th Anniversary of UN Guided Tours

4 November 2002

A key objective in marking the 50th anniversary of the United Nations tours was galvanizing the valuable network of former guides and encouraging them to continue to serve as “ambassadors to the public”, said Shashi Tharoor, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information, at a Headquarters press conference.

Mr. Tharoor was joined by Madhur Jaffrey, a former guide from India, who later gained fame as an actress and author, Kevin Kennedy of the Secretary-General's Executive Office, also a former guide, and current guides Marian Aggrey and Daniela Lima. Excerpts from Press Conference
