FIJI presented its first ever Voluntary National Review (VNR) to the United Nations in New York yesterday.
According to the UN, the VNR aims to facilitate the sharing of experiences, including successes, challenges and lessons learned, with a view to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said in the VNR, Government discussed the significant progress the country has made in achieving a number of key goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
“Our presentation was centred around the fact that Fiji –– as a small island developing state of fewer than a million people –– has embraced our responsibility as a global citizen, promoting peace in turbulent regions around the world, assuming a seat on the Human Rights Council, and passionately fighting for climate action,” Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said.
“There is perhaps no bigger stage than here at the United Nations.”
