World leaders in New York for UN annual meeting

New York, US 19 Sep (ANA) - World leaders are arriving at the United Nations headquarters for an annual confab with hopes of addressing everything from superbugs to climate change and a global anti-poverty drive that is already faltering in its first year. Presidents, diplomats and their delegations must also broach impromptu items, such as North Korea's recent nuclear test. A US air raid  that allegedly killed at least 62 Syrian government soldiers on Saturday threatens a fragile truce in that country and sparked fresh rows at the UN. On top of that, the US, Russia, China and other UN heavyweights must see beyond their differences and agree on who will run the world body once the incumbent, Ban Ki-moon, steps down at the end of the year. On Monday, the UN will host a summit for refugees and migrants that may have already failed - countries refused to commit themselves to a UN target of resettling 10 percent of refugees each year.(ANA)
