Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). There, leaders from the region will meet, along with stakeholders, to discuss and devise a sustainable recovery program after COVID-, under the theme “A common agenda to advance sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific.” During my stay in Bangkok, I will meet with lea result of the conflict in Ukraine. As a result, the Asia-Pacific region will face higher inflation rates, subjecting marginalized and vulnerable societies to higher levels of food insecurity and fuel prices, resulting in poverty. The region needs to build back stronger together and the th session of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific is an opportune moment to chart an inclusive and resilient path.

Although each country faces unique challenges and

Has different circumstances, the cross-cutting nature of these problems requires global and regional cooperation. Learning from each other is required. As we have learned from the pandemic, no country is safe until all countries are safe. Sustainable and resilient recovery is an urgent and critical agenda. I am sure that the recovery of the Asia-Pacific Spain WhatsApp Number List region requires greater regional and multilateral cooperation. Where leaders, the private sector, civil society organizations, the United Nations and all stakeholders come together to bring hope to people, prosperity and the planet. As President of the United Nations General Assembly, I chose “hope” as the theme of my presidency for the th session of the General Assembly because, given the despair and destruction we have seen, hope is what the world need right now.

With this vision, I have strongly advocated

For recovery from the pandemic, sustainable reconstruction, responding to the needs of the planet and respecting the rights of all, which I believe can contribute to the global desire to rebuild for better and stronger. These principles of my presidency of hope will underpin the elements of my message in Bangkok. I am no stranger to the consequences of climate change, nor to the discourse around sustainable development. As a long-time Saudi Arabia Phone Number List citizen and politician within a small island developing state, the Maldives, these issues have continually been part of my efforts, especially as we face the existential threats of a changing climate. I know what it means to wake up every day worried about the future of your land, your identity and your difficulties, access to adequate financing and unpredictable and unreliable global supply chains. I know the challenges, the confrontations and the consequences.
