Ugandan Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja reiterated call for “the urgent and comprehensive” reform of the UN Security Council, for Africa to be represented in both Permanent and Non-Permanent categories.
Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja addressed the General Assembly High-Level Debate today (27 Sep) in New York.
Uganda believes that the benefits of this world must be shared with all humanity and detests all forms of exclusion by the relatively few wealth nations, she noted.
The Prime Minister stressed that Uganda rejects the increasing competition and confrontation between major powers, “which undermines the collective international responses to security, peace, stability and social economic development.”
Financing remains one of the greatest challenges that undermine the efforts of developing countries to fully implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Ugandan politician stated.
She noted that borrowing is critical for financing investments in sustainable development.
Prime Minister Nabbanja said, “Sovereign debt is an important tool for financing sustainable development, enabling low-income countries to invest in infrastructure, health, education, and other critical areas.”
She emphasized that “loans to low-income developing countries should be concessional and at zero interest rate.”
The Prime Minister also called for the urgent reform of the international financial architecture, “including the international financial institutions and their rules to ensure equitable representation of developing countries in international economic governance decision making that affect the trajectory of their national development.”
On technology, she said, “There is no doubt that affordable energy and access to affordable high–quality internet connectivity is vital to catalyze their full implementation in order to realize inclusive development outcomes and benefits for our people.”
On climate change, Prime Minister Nabbanja said, “The high-income countries should reduce their emissions and equally support developing countries in their gradual transition to low-emission development pathways, without using the environment as a political and economic tool to block or slow down their development.”
