Mr. Chair,

1. My delegation aligns itself with the statements delivered by the distinguished representatives of Iraq and Brunei Darussalam, on behalf of the Group of 77 and China and ASEAN, and wishes to add the following remarks in our national capacity.

2. We reiterate our support for the Sevilla Commitment from the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development as a renewed global financing framework. This framework is vital to meet the scale and urgency required to address today’s challenges, particularly the pressing financial needs necessary to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

3. These global commitments are closely aligned with our macroeconomic policy objectives in maintaining debt sustainability, expanding fiscal space, and ensuring stable and adequate resources to advance our national development priorities. Alongside the Programmes of Action for LDCs and LLDCs, we are integrating this global agenda into our national frameworks, notably through the Five-Year National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP), the Smooth Transition Strategy (STS), and financing instruments such as the Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) and its Financing Strategy.
4. In this regard, we call on the international community to ensure the timely, full, and effective implementation of the Sevilla Commitment and wish to underscore the following perspectives:
   • First, an inclusive and forward-looking reform agenda, with developing countries at its core, is essential to ensure that the benefits of global trade are shared more equitably;
   • Second, multilateral reforms should focus on enhancing the capacity of multilateral and regional development banks to scale up the provision of affordable and accessible finance, particularly for least developed countries (LDCs);
   • Third, preserving and strengthening a transparent, predictable, and rules-based multilateral trading system is crucial to address tariff escalation and non-tariff barriers that hinder value addition in developing countries; and
   • Finally, strengthening special and differential treatment provisions, by making them more effective, operational, and responsive to capacity constraints, is vital to enhance predictability and ensure that trade truly contributes to sustainable development.

Mr. Chair,

5. In conclusion, my delegation firmly believes that renewed multilateral efforts and unwavering commitment from all stakeholders are necessary to transform ambitious commitments into tangible outcomes.

Thank You!
