KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has proposed for the international development architecture to be further strengthened to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda) which began in 2015.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in Malaysia's statement at the High-Level Dialogue On Global Development, said there are many developing countries which have programmes and agencies with wide experience in development.
China's President Xi Jinping chaired the dialogue which was also attended by four other member countries of BRICS namely President of Russia Vladimir Putin; Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi; President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa and the Vice President of Brazil Hamilton Mourao. He said the focus of these bodies must be given according to the needs of developing countries and not the agenda of the contributing countries.
He cited the example of the member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development which are among the richest countries in the world, allocate only 0.33% of their Gross Domestic Product as Official Development Assistance based on a report on April 12 last year. To further prove Malaysia's commitment, Ismail Sabri said Phase Two of the National Sustainable Development Roadmap is being drafted to identify relevant priority areas besides implementing the SDGs at the local level implemented through the All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia.
