New York, Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Bassam Sabbagh discussed with President of the seventy-ninth session of the United Nations General Assembly Philemon Yang aspects of interest to Syria within the framework of General Assembly during its current session. During the meeting, Sabbagh stressed the importance of confronting political polarization's attempts which are practiced by some well-known countries that seek to use this international platform to serve their own agendas. He emphasized the need to enhance the spirit of consensus among member states in a manner in a way that harmonizes with the principles and objectives of the United Nations Charter. Sabbagh explained that what has been achieved so far in terms of sustainable development goals at the international level does meet the minimum level of ambitions, which requires a change in the approach and methods of the United Nations' work. 'For Syria the situation is much more complicated due to the unilateral coercive measures imposed on the co untry by the United States and the European Union which prevent it from achieving the desired progress in the sustainable development goals as well as prevent Syria from meeting its citizens need,' Sabbagh pointed out. He stressed the need for the United Nations to focus its attention on removing all obstacles facing member states to ensure that no one is left behind. Source: Syrian Arab News Agency
