Bhutan, Thailand and Viet Nam
Speaking notes
on Means of Implementation/Global Partnership for Development
Thank you Mr. Co-Chair,
On behalf of the Troika consisting of Bhutan, Thailand and Viet Nam, I thank you for the opportunity to share with you some thoughts on this critical issue of global partnership for sustainable development. As always, we align ourselves with the statement of the G77 and China.
Co-Chair,
A goal on Global Partnership for Sustainable Development is beyond any doubt of fundamental importance. Such a goal is the reflection of international solidarity and the spirit of partnership of the international community in the common endeavours to achieve sustainable development.
If we look back at the MDG8 – Global Partnership for Development – most if not all targets still have much resonance today. And with the ambitious goals and targets we are setting, the global partnership for sustainable development must be stronger than ever. In line with the recommendations of the Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons’ report and the outcome document of the “Asia-Pacific Ministerial Dialogue: From the Millennium Development Goals to the United Nations Development Agenda beyond 2015”, we wish to propose the following six targets:
(i) Develop further an open, rule-based, stable, predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system, including reducing substantially trade-distorting measures and increasing market access to products from developing countries
(ii) Address the special needs of LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS
(iii) Developed countries that have not done so to make concrete efforts towards the target of 0.7% of gross national product (GNP) as official development assistance to developing countries. Other countries in a position to do so are encouraged to set and achieve voluntary targets.
(iv) In cooperation with the private sector, make available to developing countries benefits of technology transfer and new technologies, especially environmentally-friendly technologies and ICT.
(v) Build science and technology capacity for developing countries, by eg. increasing the provision of education and training opportunities and support for research and development activities in developing countries.
(vi) Strengthen cooperation between member states and UN agencies at every levels, particularly regional and national levels to ensure effective technical assistance and capacity building in SDGs.
I thank you Co-chair.
