Accra, Oct. 24, GNA \u2013 Mr Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, a Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration in-charge of Political and Economic matters, has congratulated the United Nations (UN) on its 79th anniversary celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking at the UN Day parade and flag raising ceremony at the forecourt of the State House in Accra, Mr Ampratwum-Sarpong reaffirmed Ghana\u2019s commitment towards the fulfillment of the UN Mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The world observes the UN Day annually on\u202fOctober 24, to mark the day on which the UN Charter came into force in 1945.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s celebration in Ghana is on the theme: \u201cWorking together towards Peace and Sustainable Development in Ghana for present and future generations,\u201d and it is a global celebration of the UN mission promoting peace, security and human rights development across the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Ampratwum-Sarpong said the Day was an opportunity for Member States to reflect on the immense work that remained in ensuring peace and sustainable development.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said the global community was currently confronted with pressing challenges including climate change and economic disparities, which required accelerated solutions if they were to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we gather here today, conflicts and humanitarian crises continue to pose threats to international peace, security, and sustainable development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, Ghana would like to use this opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law, and to urge all sides involved in conflicts to seek peaceful settlement,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He called for renewed efforts to bring warring parties to the table, with a view to achieving a just and sustainable solution to conflict.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is also important for countries to forge bonds of peace and cooperation through diplomacy and dialogue, because it is only by working together that we can create lasting solutions to conflicts and foster an environment where sustainable development thrives,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The Deputy Minister said under the leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Ghana had made significant strides in advancing the SDGs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said though Ghana\u2019s achievements in areas such as poverty reduction, education, and health were commendable, there was still more work to be done, particularly in environmental sustainability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moreover, Ghana\u2019s commitment to the SDGs was also evident in its collaborations with UN agencies, development partners, and other stakeholders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr Wilfred Ochan, the UN Resident Coordinator Ad Interim to Ghana, said the country must continue to uphold its reputation as a beacon of peace in the sub-region.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we approach the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections, we must all remember that peace is the glue that binds this great nation together,\u201d and it was therefore essential now more than ever to \u201creaffirm our commitments to peace and democracy\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Madam Nana Adwoa Adomako Boamah of the Ghana United Nations Students and Youth Association (GUNSA), reiterated the need for Ghanaians to keep working together towards peace and sustainable development in the country for present and future generations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
