Queen Rania of Jordan was joined by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday at the United Nations Headquarters Bookshop as she promoted her children’s book “The Sandwich Swap.” Children from the United Nations International School were entertained with her storytelling whilst Ban Ki-moon praised the queen for her approach to cross-cultural dialogue by saying, "tolerance and peaceful coexistence are core United Nations values and essential to progress in the twenty-first century. I commend Her Majesty Queen Rania for her longstanding commitment to raising awareness about the importance of mutual respect and cross-cultural understanding."
