PRETORIA, South Africa — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon opened a nine-day African tour telling United Nations personnel Tuesday that the world's economic woes won't wreck their efforts to reduce poverty, war and effects of climate change.
"Even in the midst of this global financial crisis, if we work together and coordinate closely we can still reach better outcomes," he said at a dinner with several dozen top U.N. staffers in South Africa.
