Guterres made the call at a news conference after the fifth UN-AU Annual Conference on Wednesday at UN headquarters in New York.
He said unity of purpose and action are needed to continue to address the security challenges in the continent and strengthen cooperation between the organisation which has existed for two decades.
According to him, recent months have seen a resurgence of military coups in some part of Africa.
He said these work required close collaboration between the UN and the AU, noting that was what the meeting was all about.
He highlighted the wide range of progress made through collaboration, from frameworks around peace, security and sustainable development, to joint missions and programmes for humanitarian operations, elections and peaceful transfers of power.
