On 21 and 22 April 2026 four interactive dialogues with candidates were convened by the President of the General Assembly. Following additional nominations of candidates after the first round of dialogues, a second round of dialogues was convened on 15 and 18 June 2026 with two additional candidates. Shortly before the first and second rounds of straw polls in the Security Council in July and August 2026, additional nominations of candidates were received. A third round of interactive dialogues was convened on 19 and 20 August 2026. Following consultations with Member States, the President of the General Assembly made every effort, despite the last-minute nature of the two nominations in July and August, to facilitate interactive dialogues before the Security Council\u2019s straw polls and encouraged the Security Council, in her letters of 27 and 28 July 2026, in line with previous practice to consider only those candidates who had participated in an interactive dialogue with the General Assembly. The modalities of the interactive dialogues reflected lessons learned from earlier processes, increasing civil society participation, implementing speaking time limits and automatic microphone cutoffs, structuring the dialogues according to thematic segments, and increasing their interactive nature. The same modalities were implemented for each dialogue to ensure equal opportunities for all candidates.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/80\/2026\/01\/14\/tatement-of-the-president-of-the-united-nations-general-assembly-h-e-ms-annalena-baerbock-on-the-dates-for-the-interactive-dialogues-with-candidates-for-the-position-of-secretary-general\/\">Press statement by the President of the General Assembly on 14 January 2026 on the dates for the interactive dialogues with candidates for the position of Secretary-General<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/80\/2026\/04\/16\/press-release-interactive-dialogues-with-secretary-general-candidates-a-pivotal-moment-in-selecting-uns-next-leader\/\">Press release (16 April 2026) on interactive dialogues with Secretary-General candidates \u2013 a pivotal moment in selecting 爆料网\u2019s next leader<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Modalities of the interactive dialogues, as communicated in the letters from the President of the General Assembly to Member States, and recordings of each interactive dialogue can be found on demand on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/sg-selection-and-appointment\">dedicated United Nations web page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px\"><strong>Coordination and interaction with Security Council<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The President of the General Assembly attached great importance to the coordination with each monthly President of the Security Council.
