Sri Lanka appreciates GDI support in renewable energy, food security – Foreign Minister

Foreign Affairs Minister Ali Sabry, PC participated in the Global Development Initiative (GDI) Cooperation Outcomes meeting on Tuesday (19) in New York on the sidelines of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. The meeting themed ‘DGI for SDGs: Action and Progress’ was chaired by the Vice President of China Han Zheng.

The Minister commended the tangible results and benefits delivered, over the last two years, through this Chinese initiative, that complements efforts to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by revitalizing global development partnerships, and promoting stronger, greener and healthier global development. When the member states of the UN are contemplating as to what new strategies must be adopted to win the game in the second half, the GDI lends fresh impetus to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

Foreign Minister Sabry also said that the GDI has laid the foundation for certain core principles: staying committed to development as a priority; to a people-centred approach; to benefits for all and to leave no country and no one behind; to innovation-driven development; to harmony between humans and nature; and to results-oriented actions. He also appreciated the continuous assistance extended to Sri Lanka in renewable energy and food security under the GDI.
