Algeria Presents Its Vision for Achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals

Algeria has presented its vision for accelerating progress towards the 2030 Agenda during the high-level segment of the United Nations Economic and Social Council in New York.

Lounès Magramane, Secretary-General of Algeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, took part in the meeting and outlined the country’s approach to the theme “The Road to 2030,” according to a statement issued by the ministry.

In his address, Magramane highlighted Algeria’s development experience, which is based on the strategic guidelines established by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. He said the country has adopted balanced public policies centred on social justice and the protection of vulnerable sections of society.

According to the ministry, these policies have contributed to improvements in several development indicators, particularly the expansion of social protection coverage. Algeria considers access to essential services and stronger social safeguards crucial to ensuring that economic development benefits the entire population.

Magramane also addressed the conditions required for the success of the 2027 Sustainable Development Goals conference. He stressed the urgent need to close the global financing gap, which continues to limit the ability of developing countries to implement their development programmes.

The Algerian representative called for reforms to international financial institutions to make the global financial system fairer and more responsive to the needs of developing nations.

He also emphasised the importance of reducing the digital divide, facilitating technology transfers and strengthening multilateral cooperation while respecting each country’s national priorities.

The ECOSOC high-level segment was held at the United Nations headquarters from July 13 to 16, 2026. Its discussions focused on equitable, innovative and coordinated action to advance the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals.

The meeting concluded amid renewed international calls for faster and more collective action, with less than five years remaining before the 2030 deadline.
