Sanat Cruz De La Sierra, Bolivia: UN chief Ban Ki-moon celebrated his 70th birthday on Friday in an indigenous community in Bolivia, on the eve of a G77 leaders summit this weekend.
Wearing a straw hat, a necklace of flowers and a big grin, Ban joined in a folk dance with men and women from the Santa Rita community in Bolivia's eastern Concepcion region.
And in the neighboring village of El Torno, Ban was presented with a birthday cake made from coca leaves as school children sang him "happy birthday."
The upcoming summit will mark the 50th anniversary of the G77, a group created by 77 countries in Geneva in 1964 that now counts 133 member states.
