Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) NEW YORK, Nov 14 (KUNA) -- Kuwait has announced voluntary contributions to a number of UN agencies, programs and funds worth USD 6.4 million, reiterating continuing support for UN humanitarian and development activities.
This was brought up during Kuwait's speech on Wednesday evening, delivered by Diplomatic Attache Dhari Al-Faris at the UN Pledging Conference for Development Activities.
Four years after adopting the sustainable development agenda, "we have become convinced that there is still a long way with the slow progress, along with many lessons to be learned, taking into account new opportunities derived from scientific advances, technology and innovation," he said.
This will contribute to creating the appropriate development ground for developing countries in the implementation of the 2019 UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), which was renewed, showing determination in strengthening international cooperation to achieve sustainable development in all ways by 2030, he mentioned.
