Dear Friend,

Today, more than 170 world leaders will gather at the United Nations for the beginning of the 2005 World Summit—the largest gathering of world leaders in history.

The Summit is more than just a meeting: it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these global leaders to come together around our most important global issues—from development to disarmament, terrorism to trade. It is also an opportunity to look at the UN anew, and to make sure that the world body is able to meet the challenges of our changed world.

The issues at stake affect us all. To help you learn more about the Summit and its outcomes, we’ve created a website with fact sheets, news coverage, and other helpful information. We’ll be updating it daily, and hope you’ll check back often.

Sincerely,

The UN Foundation Web Team
