My delegation wishes to thank the co-facilitators, the Ambassadors of the Bahamas and Sweden, for their leadership on this High-level Political Forum resolution (resolution 74/4). Today the United States of America is pleased to join the consensus on this important outcome document.
All countries have a role to play in achieving the 2030 vision. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development remain…
Mrs. Bogyay
Hungary is entirely committed to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was also underlined by His Excellency Mr. János Áder, President of Hungary, at the SDG summit during United Nations high-level week. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals, this year Hungary hosts four major international events in Budapest,…
The President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of position after the adoption of resolution 74/4.
I shall now give the floor to those speakers who wish to make statements after adoption.
Mr. Skoog
It is a pleasure for me to speak on behalf of the co-facilitators of this political declaration, namely, the Permanent Representative of the Bahamas, Ms. Sheila Carey, and myself, as the declaration, which was first adopted at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) summit, has now also been endorsed by the General Assembly (resolution 74/4).
I wish to thank all delegations for their cooperatio…
Mrs. Azucena
The Philippines aligns itself with the statements made at the Sustainable Development Goals summit by the observer of the State of Palestine, on behalf of the Group of 77 and China, by the representative of Thailand, on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and by the representative of El Salvador, on behalf of the Like-Minded Group of Countries Supporters of Middle-Income Countri…
Mr. De La Mora Salcedo
Mexico welcomes the political declaration adopted today in the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals summit (resolution 74/4). When we designed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we recognized that each of its three dimensions — economic, social and environmental — was equally important. Today, on the eve of its final decade, no Member State has fully met the Sustainable Deve…
Ms. Velichko
Innovative approaches and enhanced international cooperation are essential to achieving sustainable development. It was that multilateral approach that led us to the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development four years ago (see A/70/PV.4). Multilateral cooperation is not merely a possible option for achieving this but is crucial. If we are to advance sustainable development and mobi…
Mr. Rai
I would like to commend you, Mr. President, for your able leadership in steering the work of the General Assembly.
Nepal welcomes the Assembly’s adoption of the political declaration of the High-level Political Forum on sustainable development (resolution 74/4). Needless to say, the Forum is an important quadrennial occasion for comprehensively reviewing the progress that we have made in the imp…
Ms. Tesfamariam
Four years have elapsed since the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) began, and we have 11 years to make good on our pledges. Monitoring the progress that we are making and examining the challenges that
we face are critical if we are to take stock of how far we have travelled in realizing our sustainable development commitments. It is important to note the positive trends…
Mr. Alshamsi
Recent reports have shown that, despite the progress made in a number of areas in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, overall implementation at the global level has been slow. It is not an overstatement to say that we have gone off course. The world’s first Sustainable Development Goals summit was therefore a timely opportunity to co…
Ms. Juárez Argueta
We cannot not pass up this opportunity to congratulate ourselves on the adoption earlier of the political declaration of the High-level Political Forum on sustainable development in the General Assembly (resolution 74/4), as well as the underlying commitment demonstrated at the global level to implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and each of its Sustainable Development Goals (…
Mr. Kakanur
Four years ago, the global community took a pledge to leave no one behind and to make the world a more sustainable place. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provided the action plan to make that a reality. We are now entering the final decade of achieving the SDGs. Although we have made considerable progress in the first four-year cycle, chall…
Ms. Rosa Suazo

Four years after begi…
Ms. Brink
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) embody Australian values and our ambitions for our region, the Indo- Pacific — prosperity, stability and inclusiveness. We were pleased to join others in reaffirming our
commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the SDG summit and through this political declaration (resolution 74/4). We congratulate Ambassador Skoog and Ambassador Care…
Mr. Do Rego
It is a real pleasure for my country, Benin, to take this opportunity to address this plenary meeting, which reflects the General Assembly’s ownership of the political declaration (resolution 74/4) adopted at the Sustainable Development Goals summit.
Four years into the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Benin, one of the key lessons learned is that integrating SDG ini…
Mr. Al-Kuwari
The State of Qatar welcomes the adoption of the political declaration of the High-level Political Forum on sustainable development convened under the auspices

It was four years ago that world leaders gathered here and adopted the most ambi…
