SANTIAGO (Reuters) -Chilean President Gabriel Boric said he would nominate the country's former president, Michelle Bachelet, as a candidate for UN Secretary General on Tuesday.

"She's a woman who's own trajectory is fully in line with the values that inspired this organization," Boric said during his speech at the UN General Assembly.
