Dubai: Senior UAE diplomat Lana Nusseibeh entered the race to become the next United Nations secretary-general on Wednesday, injecting a prominent Middle Eastern candidate into a contest that has struggled to produce a consensus choice among the Security Council's most powerful members.
Nusseibeh, a former UAE ambassador to the UN for more than a decade, told Reuters she would seek to restore the world body's role as a diplomatic problem-solver at a time of mounting global crises.
