On November 15, Xu Zhongsheng, Vice Chancellor of China Diplomatic Academy (CDA) held a video call with Rabih El-Haddad, Manager of Manager of Multilateral Diplomacy Programme of United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). The two sides exchanged views on the training cooperation in relevant fields of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Ma Xinyu, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU), Wang Yumeng, Deputy Director of Foreign Affairs Office of CFAU, Luan Congyuan, Deputy Director of Academic Affairs Division of CDA and other leaders also attended the meeting.

Rabih El-Haddad highly appreciated China’s contributions to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and considered that China has acted as a good example for the international community and played a leading role. He noted, supporting the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is an important part of UNITAR’s work. UNITAR has integrated the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) together with their sub-goals and indicators into its training system, hoping to better assist its member states in accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

Xu spoke highly of UNITAR’s role. He said, as a training institute serving its member states and the UN system, UNITAR has played an important role in enhancing developing countries’ capacity for development and advancing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. We are looking forward to better communicating and exchanging with UNITAR in areas of faculty and curriculum, so as to keep upgrading the level of cooperation between the two sides.

Both sides agreed to further deepen interaction and exchanges in training within the agreed framework of cooperation. The next step is to discuss specific details regarding cooperation in the training of UN Junior Professional Officers.
