The new Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, attended a meeting held in New York USA where she addressed United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.
Delegates met to discuss the world economic downturn, specifically what impact the global financial crisis would have on employment, trade, investment and development.
They also spoke about ways to achieve the internationally agreed development goals and the Millennium Development Goals.
“The International community must now show the same urgent resolve and determination to assist developing countries, particularly the least developed countries in Africa today,” said Nkoana-Mashabane.
“If we are to collectively deliver on mitigating the effects of the financial crisis, and its effect on child mortality, abject poverty and hunger to create a better life for all, working together, we can do more.”
