Secretary-General's press encounter after the Olympic Torch Relay Event at United Nations Headquarters

SG: It is wonderful that the Torch should make its first visit to the United Nations, in this particular year when we have so many wars, and to go back to the ancient Greek tradition of putting down arms, making peace during the Games. As brief as it is, it might encourage people to put down their arms and allow us to get food and supplies to some of those who need them. I know you are going to organize some wonderful Games in Athens and it is great that the Games are going back to their roots in Ancient Greece. I'm looking forward to some wonderful, wonderful Olympic Games.

Q: You are talking about wonderful Games - you are not worried at all?

SG: We are going to have fun.
