Her Excellency highlighted the significance of this milestone, which reflects the enduring legacy of the UN and its vital role in fostering peace, justice, and international cooperation. She reaffirmed Qatar’s unwavering commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to building robust global partnerships for a more equitable and just future.
