Among these are a reflection on the Sustainable Development Goals, the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious or Linguistic Minorities and the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.

Bilateral meetings with the Director General of the International Organisation for Migration and with government representatives from several countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe, are also on the prime minister’s agenda.

A press release from the Prime Minister’s Office indicates that Maleiane is travelling to New York on behalf of the President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi. According to the same statement, Adriano Maleiane will, in his address on Saturday, present Mozambique’s stage of development in the context of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, reiterating the country’s commitment to the implementation of that instrument, with the emphasis on the expansion of health, banking, the judicial system and electricity network, as well as the consolidation of food production programs to eradicate hunger and chronic malnutrition, promoting peace and sustainable and inclusive development.

It is also the first session to take place since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, which has been the dominant theme of the various speeches made in the General Assembly.

In response to polarised views about this conflict, the presidents of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and of China, Xi-Jinping, have already announced that they will not take part in the session, notable absences from the 77th UN General Assembly, which otherwise counts at least 130 heads of state and government among the attendees.
