General Assembly spokesperson Paulina Kubiak officially announced the program for Monday’s Nelson Mandela International Day, with Harry giving the keynote and participants including assembly president Abdulla Shahid, U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, New York Mayor Eric Adams and Guinea’s Foreign Minister Morissanda Kouaté.
