Prime Minister Petteri Orpo on Tuesday said that Finland’s commitment to the multilateral system, with the United Nations at its core, is unwavering.
The Premier presented Finland’s third Voluntary National Review at the UN High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in New York, said a government press release.
“Finland also supports the implementation of the SDGs through development cooperation and funding. Among other key themes, Finland’s development cooperation focuses on the rights of women and girls, including their sexual and reproductive health and rights, as well as education and climate action,” he said.
He said that armed conflicts around the world are draining the resources needed for sustainable development.
“My country is unfortunately no exception. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its imperial aspirations are forcing us to reallocate resources to safeguarding our security and national existence,” Orpo said.
