Secretary-General's press encounter following meeting with Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi

Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General

SG: We discussed issues of mutual interest. We discussed development issues, the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals, the question of the border dispute with Eritrea. We did discuss the elections and developments at home here and also the next General Assembly where we will be discussing UN reform. The Prime Minister has been a strong supporter of reform and so I was able to thank him for his support of this important programme. Thank you very much.
