The Prime Minister’s participation in the UNGA reflects Sint Maarten’s unwavering commitment to international cooperation and sustainable development. As the leader of our vibrant and resilient island nation, Prime Minister Jacobs brings a unique perspective to the global community, one shaped by the challenges and triumphs of a Small Island Developing States (SIDS) facing the impacts of climate change, economic resilience, and social development.
Prime Minister Jacobs expressed gratitude for the opportunity to represent Sint Maarten at this prestigious event. “On our agenda this year, there is a distinct focus on SIDS, Sustainable Development Goals, climate change, energy transition, women’s and children’s rights, access to financing, and Social and economic development for our people. During my bilateral meetings I will focus on developing new and strengthening old relationships with regional and international leaders as well as Kingdom partners.” Said Prime Minister Jacobs.
Her participation in UNGA 2023 reaffirms Sint Maarten’s dedication to working collaboratively with the international community to address the world’s most pressing challenges.
