STORYLINE
Today (4 Mar), at the Summit of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) Group in Doha, Qatar, the UN Secretary-General said, “we are perfectly aware of the inequities created by our unfair global economic and financial system and determined to change it by reforms and by adequate resources.”
Head of the Fifth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries Conference (LDC5), LDC leaders met to exchange views on how they can collectively address shared challenges and come up with meaningful solutions.
The Summit, chaired by the President of Malawi, Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera, provided a dedicated forum for LDC leaders to hold free and frank discussions on sharing knowledge, experiences, and good practices on the key challenges that they have been facing and how to overcome them to achieve the SDGs.
Chakwera said, “The LDCs is the only body of nations that exists for the sole purpose of ending its own existence. This is the only body of nations that none of us want to belong to indefinitely. They are the LDCs, the only body of nations that all of us are working to escape and graduate from.”
He continued, “We are here to find ways of making sure that we leave the state of being Least Developed behind us as we progress towards becoming middle-income economies.”
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Qatar said, “Over the next five days, we have a historic opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to constructive cooperation and multilateralism to support LDCs in their efforts to face the great challenges that are posed to them and to build positive momentum and a sense of solidarity that has prevailed in the adoption of the programme of action of Doha.”
