UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- The president of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly Abdulla Shahid on Monday called for more support and resources to help less developed countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the decade's end.

"The pandemic has severely impacted the SDGs," the president told the second SDG Moment, a high-level event to galvanize global action toward the 2030 Agenda. "But the irony is that the SDGs themselves provide us the most comprehensive and universal toolkit in our efforts to recover sustainably."

Amid the still raging COVID-19 pandemic, the international community needs to ensure that less developed and landlocked countries "have access to adequate resources and capacity support in their efforts to recover from the pandemic and achieve the SDG targets," Shahid said.

Shahid urged all parties to meaningfully cooperate to tide over the trying times. Enditem
