GENEVA, Jan 20 (Reuters) - The U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has cancelled his plans to attend the Davos meeting in Switzerland where he was due to deliver a special address, a U.N. spokesperson said on Tuesday.
"The Secretary-General has, unfortunately, had to cancel his participation at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos. It was scheduled for tomorrow, but he's got a bad cold," said U.N. spokesperson Rolando Gomez in response to a reporter's question.
