Emphasizing Ethiopia's belief in inclusive growth, Mr. Tegene stated that the nation's development strategy considers the progress of neighboring countries and the wider global community.

In conclusion, Mr. Tegene affirmed Ethiopia's unwavering commitment to accelerating SDG implementation through continuous policy alignment, integrated planning and budgeting, robust public-private partnerships, active civil society engagement, comprehensive SDG localization and decentralization, and strengthened global partnerships.
