United Nations, New York, 11 January 2010 - Heralding 2010 as the year of development, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today underscored the urgent need to ensure that action is accelerated to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), eight anti-poverty targets with a 2015 deadline.

"We live in an age of insecurity", Mr. Ban told reporters at United Nations Headquarters.

While many countries are experiencing an economic upswing, he underscored that "times are hard for too many people. Too many conflicts continue around the world. Too many people are being left behind."

With the world looking to the UN for leadership, the Secretary-General declared this year as the year of development.
