WNAM Monitoring: “The government of Azerbaijan has been instrumental in establishing the NAM Parliamentary Network, which is an important and democratic development that engages parliamentarians and political leaders across the spectrum,” Dennis Francis, the President of the 78th Session of the General Assembly, said in an interview.
Francis assessed the creation of the NAM Youth Organization and the Women’s Platform as a very important event: “As you may know, gender equality is an important dimension of the work of the UN and, in particular, of my presidency. You notice I’m wearing a pin with a woman. This is the UN Women’s Pin, and it’s set against the background of these sustainable development goals. Because we believe in the UN, women have an equal role to play in sustainable development. We are promoting that with great gusto and energy.”
“The contribution that Azerbaijan has made in creating these new additional platforms for engagement, discussion, and refinement of important policy measures has added significant value to the thrust of stakeholder engagement in the UN,” the President of the UN GA said.( Source: Report News)
