VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta—represented at the United Nations in New York by Ambassador Natasha Meli—will serve as a co-facilitator alongside Senegal for the preparations leading up to the 2027 United Nations Summit on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In this capacity, the two nations will lead negotiations among member states, aiming to reach a consensus on a political declaration that outlines shared priorities and commitments for the period leading up to 2030. Ambassador Meli will coordinate consultations with representatives from various countries to help secure an agreement on the necessary next steps.
Malta’s appointment was confirmed by the President of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Khalilur Rahman; the selection reflects the international community’s confidence in Malta’s diplomatic contributions.
The 2027 summit will bring together world leaders to take stock of progress made toward the 17 Sustainable Development Goals—adopted in 2015—which are designed to address key global challenges, including poverty, education, healthcare, equality, and environmental protection. These goals are part of the broader United Nations agenda to promote sustainable development by 2030.
