Mr Guterres urged all citizens, governments and leaders to strive to overcome differences to put peace first. He said that he will work to resolve the unfairness caused by globalization which has greatly contributed to the high unemployment rate and disappointment, especially among young people.

Mr. Guterres, aged 67, will serve for a five-year term until December 2021.
