Statement by Ms. Aminah Abdul Rahman, representative of Malaysia at the 42nd session of the Commission on Population and Development on agenda item 4: general debate on national experience in population matters: contribution of the programme of action of the international conference on population and development to the internationally agreed development goals, including the millenium development goals |
| Abstract |
Malaysia has achieved most of the goals set in the ICPO-PoA, other
development goals including the MDGs in the areas of poverty reduction, universal education, reductions in maternal and child mortality, gender equality, and
environmental sustainability. The challenge for Malaysia is to maintain the momentum in
dealing decisively the remainder of the MOG goals especially in reversing the spread of
HIV/AIDS, and to identify the next set of priorities that will keep the nation moving ahead towards its ultimate objective of becoming a fully developed nation. |
