Djibouti’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Abdoulkader Houssein Omar, and United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ESCWA, Rania Al-Mashat, assessed the Commission’s support for Arab States, particularly regarding the strengthening of fiscal policy efficiency. They also discussed expanding fiscal space and improving debt sustainability strategies.

Discussions addressed support for member States to anticipate and adapt to the effects of climate change, as well as the sustainable management of natural resources.

Both parties underscored the strategic support provided for adaptation and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), taking into account each country’s specific priorities and realities.

Omar extended an official invitation to Al-Mashat at the end of the meeting to pay a working visit to Djibouti, consolidate this partnership, and examine prospects for future cooperation.
