Qatar participated in the annual meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), which was held online on Wednesday, as part of partnering for accelerated implementation of the Vienna Programme of Action and achieving sustainable development in LLDCs.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs HE Sultan bin Saad Al Muraikhi led the delegation of Qatar in the meeting.
Muraikhi stressed the need of strengthening cooperation to support LLDCs in pursuing and implementing the sustainable development goals, and the Vienna Program of Action which defines the aspirations and priorities of LLDCs.
“Achieving the ambitious aspirations of the 2030 sustainable development plan will not be possible without giving special attention to the least developed countries. Qatar is happy to host the 5th United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries from January 23 to 27, 2022. In the light of the current challenges and exceptional circumstances, Qatar is hopeful that the conference will be an important opportunity to make a transformative change in the lives of people in the most vulnerable countries in the world. We are fully confident that it will be a milestone and important contribution to promoting sustainable development in the least developed countries,” Muraikhi said, adding that Qatar will spare no effort to ensure the success of the conference.
“Qatar has never hesitated to continue its efforts as an active partner at the international level. Qatar assumed an initiative and pioneering role in the Climate Action Summit that was held in September 2019, where HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani announced the country’s contribution of $100 million to support small island developing states and least developed countries to deal with climate change,” he pointed out.
“Moreover, to ensure that this pledge is translated on the ground, the Qatar Fund for Development is working to develop a mechanism through a 10-year strategy aimed at supporting these countries in achieving the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement and their efforts in the field of sustainable development,” Muraikhi added.
Qatar will continue its commitment to the principle of partnership and cooperation, which is a fundamental pillar of the Qatar’s policy, and within these constants, no effort will be spared to support the landlocked developing countries in their path towards sustainable and comprehensive development, he added.
