Speaking during the 2nd High-Level UN Conference on South-South Cooperation held in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Thursday, King Mswati said agriculture provides the best solution to the fight against poverty.
“Since poverty is a cross-cutting issue, it is important to fight it by increasing farming in our countries,” Mswati said.
He said member states should further double up efforts to meet UN Sustainable Development Goals on education, climate change and food security as agreed during the UN General Assembly in 2015.
The conference marks the 40th anniversary of the UN Conference on Technological Cooperation among Developing Countries.
