06 SEPTEMBER 2000 MILLENNIUM SUMMITS WERE HELD

The Millennium Summit was a meeting of several world leaders that took place from 6 to 8 September 2000 at United Nations headquarters in New York City to discuss the role of the United Nations in the twenty-first century. More than 150 heads of state, heads of government, princes, vice presidents, deputy prime ministers and other delegates attended, making this summit the most world leaders for the year 2000.

The Millennium Summit was chaired by the United States and jointly by The President of Finland, Tarja Halonen, and the President of Namibia, Sam Nujoma.

Finland and Namibia

The President of Finland, Tarja Halonen, and the President of Namibia, Sam Nujoma, co-chaired the Millennium Summit. This was due to the presidency of the General Assembly of Theo-Ben Gurirab in the fifty-fourth session and that of Harri Holkeri in the fifty-fifth session. The heads of state of Finland and Namibia were therefore chosen to chair the summit.

Delegation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

Kim Yong Nam, head of state of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, canceled his visit to the Millennium Summit after an incident at an airport in Frankfurt, Germany. He and the other diplomats were inspected by American Airlines officials. The diplomats demanded diplomatic immunity, which can free them from any police officer while visiting other countries.

Delegation of Tuvalu

Tuvalu was admitted to the United Nations the day before the Millennium Summit began on 5 September 2000. This country was accepted as the 189th member of the United Nations, marking Tuvalu's most important achievement since independence in 1978.
