Qatar participated in the annual ministerial meeting of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Minister Dr. Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser Al Misnad reviewed the challenges faced by these countries, emphasizing that supporting them has become a necessity not only for solidarity but also as an investment to ensure sustainability, development, and peace. She pointed out that Qatar has been a major supporter, notably through hosting the Fifth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC5) in Doha in 2023, and through its financial contribution of approximately $60 million to support development programs. Additionally, the Qatar Fund for Development signed two agreements worth $21 million to enhance capacities in those countries. She stressed the importance of strengthening international cooperation, mobilizing resources, and empowering economies to reduce poverty and increase the resilience of the least developed countries against crises, with a focus on investments in education, health, and sustainable development. She also highlighted the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to safeguard global energy and food security, emphasizing the need to address regional issues through consensus and respect for international law to achieve stability and development.
