At #UNGA, one message is clear: achieving the #SDGs requires concerted action to tackle inequality and accelerate #ClimateAction. A more just, resilient, and sustainable future depends on ensuring that no one is left behind while safeguarding our planet for generations to come.

It’s time for beneficiation rather than extraction and above all to scale up doing business with #Africa rather than business in Africa. #UNGA #UnstoppableAfrica high level opening with @_AfricanUnion Commission Chair @ymahmoudali & @UN Secretary-General @AntonioGuterres

A continent ready to partner and do mutually beneficial business that leverages and adds value to its youthful potential and bountiful resources. #UnstoppableAfrica Presidential Chat with @julius_maadabio 🇸🇱 #UNGA

Countries are increasingly "defaulting on development due to the fear of defaulting on debt", diverting resources from the #SDGs [with only 4 years to the 2030 deadline]. The cost of capital remains one of the greatest barriers to sustainable development. #SDGMoment #UNGA

Women and girls across and beyond South Africa have the right to live free from violence. Recent killings underscore the urgent need for stronger prevention, better protection, greater accountability, and adequately resourced response systems. Read: southafrica.un.org/en/322788…

Every woman and girl has the right to live free from fear and violence. Outrage must be matched by stepped-up collective action to end gender-based violence and femicide through accountability, prevention, and protection. We all have a role to play. #ProtectWomenAndGirls #SDG5

Delighted to see Ambassador @AmbMKimani appointed as @UN Assistant Secretary-General for Africa in @UNDPPA. As we say in Cameroon, a square peg in a square hole! Wishing him every success in the journey ahead.

As leaders gather for #UNGA & the world accelerates efforts towards the #SDGs & Africa's #Agenda2063, one message is clear: development outcomes depend not only on plans, but on delivery and tangible improvements in people's lives. 📰 My @SABCNews op-ed: sabcnews.com/sabcnews/opinio…

Valuable insights from @WandileSihlobo at #NucleusMiddlePowers: Useful reminder that economic diplomacy underpins South Africa’s middle-power ambitions. In an era of geoeconomics, influence increasingly comes from being indispensable to trade, investment, value chains & solutions
