Former Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Guterres has been officially appointed as the next UN secretary-general.

He will become the world's top diplomat on 1 January when Ban Ki-moon's second five-year term ends.

Mr Guterres, 67, who led the UN refugee agency UNHCR for 10 years, was chosen from among 13 candidates last week.

He told the BBC that ending the civil war in Syria would be his biggest challenge.

As head of the UNHCR refugee agency from 2005 to 2015, he led the agency through some of the world's worst refugee crises, including those in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

During that time, he repeatedly appealed to Western states to do more to help refugees fleeing the conflicts.

Mr Guterres' nomination came despite a concerted effort to appoint the UN's first female secretary general. Of the 13 candidates, seven were women, among them Unesco director-general Irina Bokova from Bulgaria, and Helen Clark, 66, a former prime minister of New Zealand and current head of the UN development programme.

Portugal has a long history and many more  things besides political performance. In literature, art, sport, turism, etc.

Well this one was one of those abandoning the ship ahhaha, only that way they get any career. They sink the ship and leave, just like Durao Barroso.

Sure, Portugal is an amazing country really. But its economy couldn't be worse. I'm sorry, but I don't feel proud for seeing a Portuguese politician as the head of the UN, one who basically abandoned his country. We're in the **** hole. What did Durao Barroso, or Antonio Guterres, do for Portugal's health? Sorry, nothing. Oh yeah, a portuguese person is an international sensation, what a great time to be portuguese while I can't find a job or have an acceptable access to health services.

António Guterres didn't abandon his country and had been working at ONU since 2005 for refugees. And the country is not that bad as you imagine or hear at the news.
