Tomorrow, August 3, an agreement will be signed in Almaty to establish the UN Regional Center for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Central Asia and Afghanistan. The signing ceremony will be attended by President Toqayev and UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
The agreement will be signed by Kazakhstan’s Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu and UN Deputy Secretary-General Li Junhua. The decision to establish the center was adopted by the UN General Assembly in March this year.
