Progress towards achieving Millennium Development Goals ‘uneven’ – Trinidad
PM UNITED NATIONS, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago says based on what the international community has witnessed since commitments were made at the Millennium Summit in 2007, progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has been “uneven.”
In addressing the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly Debate late Wednesday, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said while the twin-island Republic has made “tremendous strides in achieving the goals, and in some cases has surpassed them,” a number of countries are “not on track to realize any of the targets.
“By 2005, and again in 2010, it was evident that greater efforts were necessary if developing countries as a whole were to meet their MDG targets by the stipulated deadline,” she said.
