President Ghazouani’s participation underscores Mauritania’s growing engagement in international development discourse and its commitment to these pressing global issues. The OPEC Fund, an intergovernmental development finance institution, is known for its focus on supporting low- and middle-income countries in achieving socio-economic progress.

Discussions throughout the forum are expected to generate actionable ideas and strengthen partnerships aimed at accelerating the delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The event also provides a platform for high-level dialogues on financing development, digital inclusion, and creating sustainable transitions for vulnerable nations.
