The summit is the first of its kind and includes some 170 member states of the UN. A total of 60 heads of states and prime ministers take part, it was reported. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also participates, while the EU delegation is led by European Commission Vice-President for Budget and Human Resources, Kristalina Georgieva.
