SEVILLE, Spain, July 1 (Xinhua) — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday called for inclusive and strong multilateralism at the opening of the fourth International Conference on Financing for Development here in southern Spain.
P. Sanchez, who is also the conference chair, said that in the current global context, inclusive and strong multilateralism is especially needed and the UN should be at its core.
He called on delegates to translate slogans into action, resolve differences through unity and build trust through dialogue.
Noting that two-thirds of the UN Sustainable Development Goals were behind schedule, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said at the opening of the session that the conference would take action in three areas – accelerating the flow of funds, reforming the international debt system and increasing the participation of developing countries in the institutions of the international financial system.
The conference, dedicated to global development finance, will run until Thursday and will bring together representatives from governments, international organizations, financial institutions, businesses and other entities. –0–
