UN General Assembly
2018

Finally, we call for more substantial inclusion of and a greater voice for developing countries within the United Nations system, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and other institutions in line with the work that is already being pursued. To that end, in December 2018, the Government of Cabo Verde will convene a round table in Paris to make an appeal for the mobilization of innovative partnerships that are consistent with our reality as a small island developing State. Cabo Verde will want to hear what our development partners think of the relevance of our proposals and options, and to discuss forms of cooperation with them, in close coordination with our agreed national efforts, including the alignment of our national development plan with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals. We therefore count on the support of the members of the Assembly on Cabo Verde’s journey towards the sustainable development for which we all strive.
