2001-2010: Decade to Roll Back Malaria in Developing Countries, Particularly in Africa

Note by the Secretary-General (A/63/219)
Mr. Nsengimana (Rwanda)

My delegation associates itself with the statements made by Antigua and Barbuda at the 27th meeting and Kenya at the 26th meeting on behalf of the Group of 77 and China and the Group of African States, respectively.

I would like to extend my gratitude to the Secretary-General for his reports on progress in implementation of and international support for the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) (A/63/206), and the causes of conflict and the promotion of durable peace and sustainable development in Africa (A/63/212), and for his note entitled "2001-2010: Decade to Roll Back Malaria in Developing Countries, Particularly in Africa" (A/63/219).

Regarding progress in implementation of and international support for NEPAD, Rwanda welcomes the adoption of the political declaration (resolution 63/1) at the conclusion of the high-level meeting on Africa's development needs on 22 September 2008, as well as the recommendations of the Millennium Development Goals Africa Steering Group. We firmly believe that, if implemented, they offer Africa a way forward in addressing the many challenges we face.

Rwanda is committed to addressing her peculiar development challenges under the umbrella of NEPAD and through the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other internationally agreed development goals, and we have undertaken a number of initiatives to realize those commitments.

Mr. Siles Alvarado (Bolivia), Vice-President, took the Chair.
Mr. Nsengimana (Rwanda) --> -->
