In Video Message, Secretary-General Brings Zero Hunger Challenge to Expo Milano

Following is the text of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s video message for Expo Milano 2015, taking place from 1 May to 31 October in Milan:

Benvenuti a Expo Milano 2015.  Welcome to Expo Milano 2015.  The United Nations is proud to be here to highlight the cause of food security.

The world produces more than enough food to feed every member of the human family.  Yet, one in nine people still do not have enough to eat.  This is why I launched the Zero Hunger Challenge — a global call to action for a world without hunger.  We have brought this Challenge to Expo Milano 2015.

All of you have a role to play.  Find out how you can make a difference by visiting the UN spaces along the Zero Hunger itinerary.  Download our app to play the Zero Hunger Game.

We can and must end hunger in our lifetime.  We can do it if we work together.  Grazie mille per il vostro sostegno.  Thank you for your support.
