BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 28. Parliamentary
Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, Artjoms
Uršuļskis, will represent Latvia at the 4th United Nations (UN)
International Conference on Financing for Development, scheduled to
take place from June 30 to July 3, 2025, in Seville, Spain,
Trend reports.
The conference will bring together representatives from UN
member states, international and civil society organizations,
development banks, and the private sector to assess the global
system for financing sustainable development. The primary goal is
to ensure adequate and effective funding for the achievement of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Key topics will include addressing financial challenges posed by
recent global developments, including the COVID-19 pandemic,
Russia’s war against Ukraine, global conflicts, economic
instability, and the ongoing climate crisis.
Uršuļskis is expected to participate in a high-level roundtable
discussion focused on strengthening domestic resource mobilization
in developing countries—an essential component for advancing
inclusive and resilient economic growth.
In preparation for the Seville conference, UN member states have
collaborated on a final outcome document reaffirming their shared
commitment to mobilize sufficient financing for sustainable
development. This document is expected to be formally adopted
during the event.
The previous, third International Conference on Financing for
Development took place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2015.
