\n\n\n\n\u201cThe adoption of the Pact for the Future is an ambitious document through which leaders reaffirmed their commitment to building a stronger, more networked, and inclusive multilateral system. The Pact highlights prominent issues related to international peace and security, digital technology, sustainable development, and financing for development, which are key to effectively responding to global challenges facing the world today, while having the potential to make the world fit for the 21st century and serving as a beacon of hope for current and future generations,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president added that, while the recently adopted Pact for the Future sets the political tone, its successful implementation does not rest solely on the actions of governments but also on the private sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWithout the involvement of the private sector, sustainable development will remain an elusive goal. Investors and the private sector offer much-needed capital and skills that are necessary to augment national development priorities,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasised that the private sector plays a pivotal role in employment creation, advancement of technology, provision of essential infrastructure, and innovation, which are key enablers for sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will continue to rely on the indispensable contributions of the business community and the private sector. Governments have a responsibility to create conducive policy and regulatory environments to attract and facilitate private sector investment in projects that are aligned with government priorities in order to boost economic growth and achieve inclusive sustainable development,\u201d President Mbumba added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
