Speaking for his delegation, Leun Mella Embella said that financing for development should not be viewed as charity but as an investment in collective security and shared prosperity.
"Financing for development should not be considered as some kind of alms or kindness. It is an investment in stability, shared prosperity and collective security," Embella said, urging full implementation of the commitments made in Seville in July 2025 and reforms to international financial architecture.
He called on member states to give the Global South a fairer shot at finance and to strengthen regional industrialization and trade as complementary strategies to mobilize development resources.
