Statement of Hungary delivered by Ambassador Dr. Zsolt Hetesy, Deputy Permanent Representative of Hungary to the United Nations on "Coherence between respective outcome documents, outstanding issues and way forward" at the Joint Session of the Third International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD) and Post-2015 processes, held on 24 April, 2015.
The fourth session of the intergovernmental negotiations on the post-2015 development agenda took place from 21 to 24 April 2015. Convening as a joint meeting with the participants in the process for the Third International Conference on Financing for Development, the four-day session was focusing on means of implementation, the global partnership for development, and coordination between the two processes. In its statement Ambassador Hetesy underlined that Hungary is of the firm view that a single and coherent development agenda can only be created if the logic and ambition of the framework for its implementation is matched with that of the Open Working Group proposal on Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, we need to ensure that the outcome of the Addis Ababa conference on Financing for Development incorporates the paradigm change embraced in the SDGs, and creates a platform allowing for all the stakeholders, all actions and all the resources to pull in the same direction.
