UN General Assembly
2024

Let me take this opportunity to inform you that this session coincides with the first anniversary of the **Liberation Coup** in my country, Gabon. Indeed, the path to building a new Gabon has so far lived up to the promises made from this very podium at the last General Assembly, namely: - The establishment of transitional institutions; - The release of political prisoners; - Ongoing inclusivity; - The convening of an inclusive National Dialogue; - The drafting of a new Constitution. The next step is to organise a referendum in the coming months, adopt an electoral code, and revise the voter register in accordance with the timetable adopted at the inclusive national dialogue. All these advances, supported by the Gabonese people, are helping to progressively restore constitutional order through free, transparent, and peaceful elections within an optimal timeframe. In addition to the points mentioned above, significant reforms have been initiated in sectors that directly affect human development: - Roads, health centres, schools; - The return of student scholarships; - Access to competitive examinations for elite schools;
