Baku. Turbat Baghirova – APA. In 2016, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will celebrate 50 years at the heart of international development. To mark the occasion, Ministers from across the world will meet in New York on February 24 to chart a course for the future of global development, APA reported citing the UNDP’s website.

Ministers will be involved in high-level debates on how to translate ambitious global commitments – from financing development, eradicating poverty, reducing inequality, addressing climate change and building peace – into concrete action and results. They will share their visions on making the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) a reality, building a more prosperous, fair, and inclusive world for all.

Note that, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov is among the participants.
