New York: The State of Qatar participated in the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development held at the United Nations headquarters in New York, under the theme "Reinforcing the 2030 Agenda and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises: the effective delivery of sustainable, resilient and innovative solutions."
Secretary-General of the National Planning Council HE Abdulaziz bin Nasser bin Mubarak Al Khalifa chaired the Qatari delegation to the forum.
In his address, His Excellency reaffirmed Qatar's commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the political declaration adopted at the SDG Summit under the UN General Assembly in September 2023, which aimed to review progress and accelerate the implementation of the SDGs, ensuring benefits for humanity and the planet, fostering prosperity, peace, and partnership, and leaving no one behind.
His Excellency emphasized that Qatar's dedication to sustainable development is a fundamental choice reflected in Qatar National Vision 2030, which aims to transform Qatar by 2030 into an advanced state capable of achieving sustainable development and ensuring a high standard of living for its people for generations to come. This vision provides a general framework for developing comprehensive national strategies, the latest being the third National Development Strategy for 2024-2030, launched in 2024.
His Excellency affirmed Qatar's reliance on the principle of cooperation and partnership to address common challenges, as Qatar National Vision 2030 considers international cooperation an integral part of the national development process and enhances Qatar's regional role economically, politically, and culturally, especially within the framework of the UN system and regional and international organizations.
