Excellency Chairperson,
Excellency Secretary General,
Ladies and Gentlemen!
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the UN Secretary General for the commendable initiative in organizing the Summit of the Future as well as for the gracious invitation to partake in this important Summit.
We hold in high regard the diligent efforts of the coordinators of the Pact for the Future – esteemed representatives of Germany and Namibia.
This meeting serves as a valuable platform for the review of critical issues such as climate change, the safeguarding of public health, poverty alleviation, enhancement of women’s living conditions, inclusive education and other pressing global challenges.
Furthermore, matters pertaining to disarmament, arms control and modern threats and challenges to peace and security continue to demand our earnest consideration.
It is anticipated that today’s meeting will serve as a significant function in tackling issues pertinent to the reform of the international financial architecture and enhancing the global response to modern threats and challenges.
The inclusion of climate and water agenda in the Final document of this Summit underscores the imperative for sustained and urgent action by Member States and other stakeholders to secure a peaceful and sustainable future for the generations to come.
According to the latest data from the United Nations while there have been some improvements, a progress in the field of water and sanitation remains insufficient.
Therefore we are committed to enhancing our collaborative efforts with other nations to advance our constructive initiatives aimed at addressing water resource management and climate change.
The ongoing implementation of the International Decade of Action «Water for Sustainable Development 2018 – 2028» exemplifies our unwavering dedication to these critical issues.
Distinguished participants,
The adoption of the Pact for the Future as a forward-looking outcome of this Summit aligns with the pressing reality that millions of civilians across diverse regions of the globe are vulnerable to a multitude of security threats.
The actions of the United Nations in light of the swiftly evolving dynamics on the international arena underscore the necessity for nations worldwide to enhance their multilateral relationships.
The international community can achieve success solely through dialogue and constructive collaboration aimed at addressing modern risks and challenges.
Strengthening cooperation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals is fundamentally reliant on collaborative efforts aimed at ensuring lasting peace and genuine stability.
In this context, it is crucial for policy makers and government officials to engage in concerted and coordinated actions at the global level to enhance collaboration and promote comprehensive security.
Tajikistan in its capacity as the host nation of the «Dushanbe Counter-Terrorism Process» welcomes the incorporation of this critical issue into the Pact alongside other significant matters.
It is important that we enhance international collaboration, facilitate the exchange of information and strengthen capacity-building efforts to effectively counter the rise of terrorism, extremism and other global menace.
We reaffirm our commitment to the pivotal and coordinating role of the United Nations in this endeavor.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today we stand at a critical juncture facing an alarming rise in conflict across the globe leading to unimaginable suffering and hundreds of thousands loss among innocent civilians.
As Heads of State it is necessary that we come together united by our shared vision for a world free from the ravages of war. Let us commit to a collective effort to forge lasting peace, alleviate human suffering and prevent terrible consequences of conflicts.
It is high time to take decisive action to empower the United Nations in its vital mission of the conflict resolution and to restore peace and stability to our planet. Together we can create a brighter future for all.
I in this context, respectfully propose the adoption of a special Resolution by the United Nations entitled “Decade of Strengthening Peace for Future Generations.”
Furthermore it is imperative that the United Nations along with its agencies and international and regional financial institutions intensify their efforts to coordinate the actions of the international community in pursuit of sustainable development.
I am confident, that the deliberations at today’s Summit will establish a solid ground for addressing the pressing challenges of our time.
I thank you for your attention!
