<p>Mr Guterres spent about 30 minutes inside the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch talking to Muslim leaders and survivors of the attacks.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Outside the mosque, he told reporters that like many people around the world, he had been moved by the poignant stories of compassion and grace.</p>
<p>“I know there are no words to relieve the hurt and sorrow and pain,” Mr Guterres said.</p>

<p>“But I wanted to come here personally to transmit love, support, and total and complete admiration.”</p>
<p>Guterres then travelled to the Linwood mosque where he laid a wreath and met with survivors including Abdul Aziz, who is considered a hero for chasing the gunman and throwing a credit card machine and a discarded gun at him.</p>
<p>Mr Aziz said he was honoured to meet the UN leader.</p>
<p>“To come here and share the pain with us, it means a lot,” Mr Aziz said.</p>
<p>Mr Guterres also attended a climate alliance event while on his visit to several South Pacific countries primarily to highlight the problems of climate change.</p>
<p>His trip comes ahead of the Climate Action Summit that he plans to convene in September in New York.</p>
