Other principal members of the delegation were Rashid Mubarak Al Mansouri; Acting Secretary-General of the Emirates Red Crescent, Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi; Director-General of the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, Lieutenant Colonel Dana Humaid Al Marzooqi; Director-General of the International Affairs Bureau at the Ministry of Interior and Hashem Al Attas; Senior Portfolio Manager MENA at Masdar.

Amina Mohammed spoke positively about the current partnership and said: “I hope that the cooperation with UAE will flourish in the nearest future to advance the sustainable development of the 2030 Agenda to bring a better life to the communities all over the world.

Abdulla Nasser Lootah spoke of the UAE’s favourable attitude towards SDG and the willingness to collaborate with the United Nations to eradicate poverty and hunger in the world, increase climate action, support powerful institutions and cooperation with a view of reaching common goals, To foster this cooperation, he stressed the need for developing strategic partnership with UN development programmes to share the best practices as well as innovative ideas for reaching the ultimate goals of sustainable development.
