Mr. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan and Chair of the G77 and China,<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mr. Secretary-General,<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Excellencies,<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is my great pleasure to participate in the 46<sup>th<\/sup> Annual Ministerial Meeting of the Group of 77 and China.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I commend Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, and the Government of Pakistan, for their leadership of the Group this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the leading voice of the developing world for six decades, the G77 has a key role to play in shaping the solutions that will help us manage \u2013 and solve \u2013 the \u201cmega crises\u201d unfolding across our world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Excellencies, <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s call things by name.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is a new era. It is a new chapter of history unfolding as we speak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The nature of the crises we face.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The method of actors addressing them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The nature of the leadership roles played.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The changing economic and environmental realities and the changing roles of our organizations are all witness of new realities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">These crises have seriously undermined our efforts to meet the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the benchmarks by which we should measure success also are reconsidered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I count on the G77 \u2013 with its collective wisdom and sheer strength of diversity \u2013 to create enabling environments and implement action-oriented solutions so that we can achieve the 2030 Agenda <em>together<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">To reach out and to reach our aims, we must keep people \u2013 and the human capacity to innovate \u2013 at the core of all activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This means working to close the widening gap between the global North and the global South. The rich and the poor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The solutions we seek must help countries build the productive and innovative capacities they in order to grow, develop and thrive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">We can no longer tolerate the uncompromising financial systems that keep developing countries trapped in a vicious cycle of debt and interest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Systems that obstruct the opportunities of these nations to boost productive capacities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">We need an international financial system, based on inclusion, which inspires full commitment to multilateralism, sustainability and social stability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">One that treats countries as equals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">That fosters investments that are climate and water smart, and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Excellencies,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 77<sup>th<\/sup> session will have to focus on the future we want.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It requires from all of us to concentrate better on the most burning issues, the most relevant ones for our societies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In broad terms, these are crisis management and transformation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">To survive the near future and to be successful in the overall, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is not reassuring to have 181 focus areas in a session.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I cannot change this, it, because these are mandated items.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">But we can address them through the lenses of crisis management and transformation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">We aim to use this year to forge ahead, to find solutions. To use data and scient in ways that transform how we think and we do business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In our discussions, I challenge ourselves to rethink how we approach growth and development, anchored in solidarity, science and sustainability, rather than obstruction, profit and selfishness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">With 134 members, the G77 including China is the primary stakeholder in these discussions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Excellencies, <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">We came together in 2015 to create these goals. This year ahead we need to come together again, in solidarity, to bring them back on track.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an African proverb so eloquently observes: \u201cWhen spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">For my part, I will work tirelessly to ensure that all your voices are heard loudly, clearly and equally across the General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I thank you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 September 2022 H.E.
