President to address world leaders at UN General Assembly

Sep 21, 2012 News

President Donald Ramotar is set address world leaders at the 67th session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly on September 27 at the UN Headquarters in New York.
Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President today said that the Guyanese Head of State will be engaged in a wide-ranging round of activities at this event that will see the launching of the Diaspora initiative.
“The Diaspora initiative which is a web-based survey of Guyanese who would be registered with specific attention paid to their skills and that would be the basis for a compilation of the assets that the Guyanese Diaspora has command,” the HPS explained.
The information garnered from this initiative can be used in Guyana, and otherwise, to start planning policies that would explore and exploit the assets that are available in the Guyanese Diaspora.
Moreover, the opportunities with Guyana’s ascension to the chair of the Economic and Financial Committee of the 67th Session earlier this year, are enormous for the country’s influence in the international arena to be seen and appreciated.
This Committee deals with a wide range of development matters, will have a full agenda of issues to consider, among them macro-economic policy questions, sustainable development issues, including follow-up to the Rio+20 conference, challenges associated with poverty eradication, globalisation, international migration and development, and the situation of countries in special circumstances such as Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries, and Small Island Developing States.
The General Assembly is the main deliberative organ of the UN. Decisions on important questions, such as those on peace and security, admission of new members and budgetary matters, require a two-thirds majority. Decisions on other questions are by simple majority. (GINA)
