New York - Qatar has emphasized that sustainable development is a collective global responsibility, not solely a national obligation. The Qatari delegation reiterated its commitment to international cooperation, working alongside all Member States and the United Nations to bolster joint efforts and build more resilient economies and societies.
During the general debate at the UN General Assembly's Second Committee, Third Secretary Mohamed Hassan Al Emadi noted the session's timing amidst escalating global development challenges.
Developing nations face a complex web of pressures, including dwindling fiscal resources, widening financing gaps, mounting debt, the escalating effects of climate change, trade and supply chain disruptions, and the consequences of conflicts and geopolitical crises. Emphasizing Qatar's National Vision 2030, Al Emadi highlighted a comprehensive framework for sustainable national development, centered on four pillars: human, social, economic, and environmental progress.
He stressed that investing in people is crucial for advancing inclusive, comprehensive, and sustainable development. Lastly, Al Emadi acknowledged artificial intelligence's transformative potential for development. However, he cautioned that its benefits could be unevenly distributed, posing risks of exacerbating existing inequalities if developing countries lack the necessary infrastructure, capabilities, and resources to leverage this technology.
