The Minister said in a speech he delivered at the meeting: “Iraq is looking forward to holding this summit, stressing the need to use it as an opportunity to reactivate multilateral international action, especially related to achieving sustainable development goals.”
He stressed “the importance of strengthening the means of implementing sustainable development goals by providing appropriate financing and transferring relevant technology to all countries of the world,” noting the importance of reforming the global financial system to enable developing countries to return their stolen assets and to reduce some of the illicit financial obstacles that weaken the development of financial capabilities for developing countries.
