Paying tribute to the women and men engaged in public service in all countries for their dedication to excellence, the UN chief also noted the need for a diverse, ethical competent, equipped and well-resourced public service in every country, and that it needs to be dedicated to effectively serving people and improving the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable.

“Together, let us to create an environment where public service can flourish with creativity, innovation and a shared drive to realize the 2030 Agenda,” he concluded.
