UN General Assembly

We recognize the value of development partnership for our national development, as called for in multilaterally agreed frameworks. We urge our development partners to align their development assistance with our national plans and policies, in accordance with our national development cooperation policy. Let me take this opportunity to convey our appreciation to all our bilateral and multilateral development partners, including Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, the United States, the European Union (EU), India, Israel, the Republic of Korea and the United Nations. I would also like to recognize the important and enduring role of faith-based organizations and civil society agencies, inter alia, in supporting our socioeconomic development agenda.
