Speaking at the Summit of the Future in New York, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon yesterday, noted that the meeting serves as a valuable platform for the review of critical issues such as climate change, the safeguarding of public health, poverty alleviation, enhancement of women's living conditions, inclusive education and other pressing global challenges, according to the Tajik president’s official website.
According to him, the inclusion of climate and water agenda in the Final document of this Summit underscores the imperative for sustained and urgent action by Member States and other stakeholders to secure a peaceful and sustainable future for the generations to come.
“According to the latest data from the United Nations while there have been some improvements, a progress in the field of water and sanitation remains insufficient,” said Tajik leader. “Therefore we are committed to enhancing our collaborative efforts with other nations to advance our constructive initiatives aimed at addressing water resource management and climate change.”
Emomali Rahmon noted that the adoption of the Pact for the Future as a forward-looking outcome of this Summit aligns with the pressing reality that millions of civilians across diverse regions of the globe are vulnerable to a multitude of security threats.
The actions of the United Nations in light of the swiftly evolving dynamics on the international arena reportedly underscore the necessity for nations worldwide to enhance their multilateral relationships.
The international community can achieve success solely through dialogue and constructive collaboration aimed at addressing modern risks and challenges, said Tajik leader.
He noted the importance of collaborative efforts to ensure lasting peace and genuine stability.
In this context, it is crucial for policymakers and government officials to engage in concerted and coordinated actions at the global level to enhance collaboration and promote comprehensive security.
“Tajikistan in its capacity as the host nation of the "Dushanbe Counter-Terrorism Process" welcomes the incorporation of this critical issue into the Pact alongside other significant matters,” said Emomali Rahmon. “It is important that we enhance international collaboration, facilitate the exchange of information and strengthen capacity-building efforts to effectively counter the rise of terrorism, extremism and other global menace.”
He noted that Tajikistan reaffirms its commitment to the pivotal and coordinating role of the United Nations in this endeavor.
“Today we stand at a critical juncture facing an alarming rise in conflict across the globe leading to unimaginable suffering and hundreds of thousands loss among innocent civilians,” said Tajik leader. “As Heads of State it is necessary that we come together united by our shared vision for a world free from the ravages of war.”
He further noted that it is imperative that the United Nations along with its agencies and international and regional financial institutions intensify their efforts to coordinate the actions of the international community in pursuit of sustainable development.
