Kuwait: Reforming the structure of the UN and its main principal organs requires funding of the budget and commitment of member states to their financial obligations, said a Kuwaiti diplomat late Wednesday. Speaking to the UN meeting, which discussed item 121 concerning the activities of the General Assembly, Diplomatic attache at the Kuwaiti Permanent Mission to the UN headquarters in New York, Ziyad Abuhaimed asserted that safekeeping the transparency and productivity was a responsibility of all members.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Kuwait has been actively supporting the UNGA as a reflection of its commitment to the global community over the decades. Kuwait supports the UNGA in addressing challenges whether it was addressing and solving armed conflicts, aiding during natural disasters, or fighting poverty and climate change.
The Kuwaiti diplomat mentioned that his country adopted and supported the “Vote Initiative” in accordance to UNGA 76/262, which calls for more transparency in the UNSC concerning
voting on resolutions. He also expressed pride in Kuwait joining the “Danish initiative”, which aimed at securing funding to the general budget in a timely and predictable manner. Additionally, he highlighted the positive outcomes from the Summit for the Future, which are expected to contribute positively to UN reforms and the creation of a better world.
