WINDHOEK, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Namibian President Hage Geingob on Monday urged nations to speak against carbon emissions that are destroying the planet and rise against poverty and inequalities creating tensions and division.
Speaking on the occasion of United Nations Day, which fell on Monday this year, Geingob in a statement said nations should speak with one voice against conflicts and diseases that are compromising global developmental progress.
Namibia's commitment to multilateralism is deep-rooted and the country pledged to strengthen global governance as the most effective way to respond to current and future global challenges, Geingob said.
"Namibia understands solidarity and partnership as key enablers of our developmental aspirations. On this basis, Namibia continues to implement its national development plans and Harambee Prosperity Plans, which are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals to achieve the common agenda of development, growth, and progress," he said. ■
