We are confident that this forum will produce clear recommendations on housing and sustainable development issues. Effective recommendations that contribute to remedying the imbalances from which the international system suffers, which have considerably delayed the process of collective progress on the issue of sustainable development. Perhaps we see this as an opportunity to strengthen global cooperation and reach a pact on the future. building strong alliances for the new urban agenda and addressing the global challenges posed by the global housing crisis, climate change and desertification.
In conclusion, I am confident that the forum's recommendations will support and assist the Sudanese people in their aspiration to rebuild their country and bring real development that will uplift the region and attract friends and partners. I wish you success in your deliberations. Thank you, brothers of Sudan, thank you, friends of Sudan, thank you and patience, people of Sudan.
Thank you and may God’s peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
