"There is a need to reconsider the operations of the multilateral institutions such as the IMF [International Monetary Fund] and the World Bank and particularly the Security Council,"

"We urge the global community to implement these long-standing commitments and ensure that all regions and peoples have a voice in shaping our collective future"

"Nkwe is our rallying cry to run faster, to work harder and to leave no one behind"

"We must act now to ensure that our youth can participate fully in building the Africa we want, an Africa of peace, prosperity and dignity"

"However, as a small, middle-income country, we face unique challenges, including limited access to international financing, vulnerability to climate change and economic shocks"

"Eswatini has put forth a comprehensive SDG Recovery and Acceleration Plan, valued at $1.6 billion, covering diverse areas including digital transformation, renewable energy, agriculture, industrial expansion and social protection"

"The current global financial architecture is not fit for purpose and must be reformed to make the financing more accessible and equitable"

"It is only through collective action that we can ensure a sustainable future for all"

"May we all embrace the spirit of Nkwe and let us run together with accelerated speed towards our shared goals and ensure that no one is left behind"
