In one month, the diplomatic sequence of June 2026 took President Macky Sall from Western Europe to East Asia, by way of the Baltic and the Mediterranean. That route shows the method of his campaign for the post of United Nations Secretary-General: direct dialogue with every region of the world.
On 2 June, in Paris, President Macky Sall met President Emmanuel Macron. On 17 June, he spoke by videoconference with Latvia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baiba Braže. At the end of the month, he took part in the Jeju Forum in the Republic of Korea, which is devoted to peace and cooperation in Asia. On 29 June, in Beijing, he was received by Foreign Minister Wang Yi. On 2 July, in Athens, he held talks with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
By the end of the month, President Macky Sall had met four members of the Security Council, including two permanent members. Every exchange addressed substance: the renewal of multilateralism, conflict prevention, development financing, and the place of emerging countries and small States in global governance.
His candidacy is thus being built on strategic partnerships and on listening. From Paris to Beijing, from Riga to Athens, President Macky Sall carries the same message, set out in his vision: renew multilateralism for a better world built with all regions and for each of them.
The calendar now enters a decisive phase. The Security Council opened its private consultations on 30 June, and the first indicative votes are expected in the last week of July. These informal ballots will measure the support of the Council's fifteen members for each candidate and will shape the next stage of the selection process.
Since its launch, President Macky Sall's campaign has followed the same line, that of a method applied with consistency and focused on results. The candidate approaches this stage with composure and will keep engaging all Member States, without exclusion, with respect for each one.
