Phnom Penh (FN), Apr. 26 – On 25 September 2015, global leaders made bold commitments towards building a better world for everyone by adopting the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Nevertheless, the signs of progress have been jeopardised by the COVID19 pandemic, which poses tremendous impacts on the global economy, trade, businesses, social interaction, human well-being, and health system. With the vaccine being rolled out and economic plans for national economic recovery being formulated and implemented, it is important to put the 2030 SDGs at the core of the recovery plan.

Today, 26 April 2021, marked another milestone for the Asian Vision Institute (AVI) to launch the “AVI-SDGs Dialogue” with the main purpose to posit the SDGs at the centre of policy dialogue and formulation.
This digital launching event is attended by Honorable and Distinguished Leaders and Researchers namely: H.E. Say Samal, Minister of Environment, H.E. Suos Yara M.P., Director General of the Asian Cultural Council and Vice-Chairman of the Commission of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, Information and Media of the National Assembly of Cambodia, Dr Pauline Tamesis, Resident Coordinator of the United Nations, and Dr Chheang Vannarith, President of the Asian Vision Institute.

“AVI-SDGs Dialogue” aims to provide a platform for multi-stakeholder dialogues on a wide range of topics on sustainable development, where practical policy options can be proposed; inform the public of the progress and challenges in the way towards the realization of the SDGs; and create opportunities for key stakeholders to explore partnership and collaboration opportunities on the SDGs.

Stay tuned to AVI-SDGs monthly dialogue every Friday of the 3rd week of each month.
