Madagascar's President Outlines Ambitious National Transformation, Calls for Global Cooperation at UNGA
Key statements from President Andry Nirina Rajoelina's speech:
🟠"Madagascar, like many African countries, has rich, abundant natural resources; yet our development has been slow for too long";
🟠The nation is undergoing significant transformation with infrastructure development, agricultural mechanization, and an accelerated shift towards 70% green energy production by 2028;
🟠The non-renewal of the US African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) poses a serious threat to thousands of young jobs and the economies of 14 SADC countries;
🟠Madagascar will host a hub for an expanded UN presence on its territory;
🟠Climate justice is crucial, with polluting countries needing to take responsibility and deliver promised financing for adaptation, as Madagascar actively pursues reforestation and a green and blue economy.
