\n\u201cThe Secretary-General thanked the Mayor for the outstanding relationship and support received from the host city,\u201d a readout from UN chief\u2019s spokesperson states. \u201cNoting the critical role that cities play in today\u2019s world, the Secretary-General discussed with the Mayor how to deepen the cooperation with the City of New York.

\nBeyond hosting the United Nations international headquarters since 1950, New York City also established a new position at City Hall in 1962, the Commissioner for the United Nations (known today as the Mayor\u2019s Office for International affairs), which acts as a liaison between the diplomatic community and local residents, businesses, and government agencies that interface with the intergovernmental organization.
\n\u201cWe are so proud to be the host of the United Nations,\u201d Mamdani told UN News on his way into the iconic 39-story Secretariat building in the Turtle Bay neighborhood. \u201cThis is the city where more than 3 million New Yorkers, myself included, were born outside the country and the United Nations is something that we are proud to welcome each and every day and we are excited to continue that partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
