UNITED NATIONS: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will attend the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Egypt next week, a spokesman said.
Ban will participate on Wednesday in the summit, scheduled to take place July 11-16 at the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, said spokesman Farhan Haq.
At the summit, Egypt will replace Cuba at the helm of the movement.
