The fifth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC5) is being held in Doha, Qatar from March 5 to 9, 2023. Togo is taking part in the work through the presence of Prime Minister Ms. Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé alongside leaders and representatives from 33 African countries, 12 Asia-Pacific countries and Haiti.
At the opening of the summit, the Togolese Prime Minister, on behalf of the Head of State Faure Gnassingbé, delivered Togo’s speech, recalling the country’s ambitions to innovate and be more agile in dealing with crises and accelerating inclusive and sustainable development.
On the sidelines of the Conference, Ms. Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé discussed with the Deputy Secretary General in charge of LDCs, Ms. Rabab Fatima, regarding the structural transformation of economies, and the implementation of the Doha action plan. The two personalities have agreed to remain mobilized for more growth and shared prosperity.
“The opening of the 5th LDC conference in Doha enabled us to salute the progress made by our countries. Since the last conference in 2011, Togo’s GDP has doubled, under the transformative leadership of the President of the Republic Faure Gnassingbé,” said Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé.
This conference takes place every ten years, with the aim of providing special international support for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the United Nations. The first conference was held in Paris in 1981.
