MOSCOW, March 28. /TASS/. The United Nations hopes that the Summit of the Future in September will yield decisions leading to a fairer world order, UN Secretary General’s Special Representative for West Africa and the Sahel Leonardo Santos Simao said in an interview with TASS.
"In September, there will be the Summit of the Future. So we hope that this summit will adopt decisions which will lead to a better world, a more equitable world, which will create also a more peaceful way because debates will be different," he said, adding that he hopes that political forces from regions of the North, South, East, and West will pool their efforts to build a better world for all.
In this context, he stressed the importance or looking at the financial aspects, "and the necessity to reform the international financial institutions, in particular the Bretton Woods institutions, to tackle the issues of making available financial means for development, financial development in Africa on one hand, but also to tackle the issues of debt also, which is another suffocating aspect for Africa development."
