She said she considered global partnership a major driving force behind social development.
“The international community should strengthen cooperation, including the fulfilment of development assistance commitments, enhancing capacity building and technology transfers, and creating favourable conditions for developing countries in formulating and implementing social development policies,” Nga said.
She stressed the necessity of a coherent approach, aligning social policies with economic policies and environmental goals and contributing to the realization of the 2030 Agenda.
