Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia expects the next United Nations Secretary-General not to serve the interests of specific countries only, according to remarks reported by TASS.
Lavrov said Russia expects that the new Secretary-General, who is to be elected before the end of the year, 'will represent the entire international community, rather than serve the interests of separate countries.'
The UN Secretary-General selection process typically involves consultations among the UN Security Council's permanent and rotating members before a nominee is put to the General Assembly for approval.
TASS did not report which candidates, if any, Lavrov's comments referred to.
