President Irfaan Ali has once again called for urgent global action to address pressing worldwide issues such as poverty, climate change, food insecurity, and inequality.
The president, according to a press release from the Department of Public Information [DPI], made the appeal during the Summit of the Future at the 6th plenary meeting of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly. On Sunday, the UN assembly adopted a ‘Pact for the Future’ that includes a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations. It aims, DPI says, to ensure that international institutions can deliver in the face of a rapidly changing global landscape.
