Rwandan Prime Minister Dr. Edouard Ngirente participated today in the 8th Edition of the World Government Summit held at the Dubai Exhibition Centre in United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Dr. Edouard Ngirente delivered closing remarks at the session on the Sustainable Development Goals in action. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to create a Better Fairer World By 2030.
“The 2030 Agenda was ambitious and required substantial financial resources which weren’t available especially to most developing countries, ” Dr. Edouard Ngirente said. He called for collaboration among international financial institutions, civil society and the private sector to achieve SDGs.
The 8th Edition of the World Government Summit was postponed twice due to Covid-19 induced restrictions. “The world is able to gather physically today, after over two years of the global Covid-19 pandemic. This is evidence of what can be achieved when countries cooperate towards a common goal,” Dr. Edouard Ngirente added.
The 8th edition of the two-day summit is hosted under the directives of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and the Ruler of Dubai.
The World Government Summit 2022 brings together thought leaders, global experts and decision makers from around the world to share and contribute to the development of tools, policies, and models that are essential in shaping future governments.
