 The annual High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) meeting continues its work
with an intensity very close to other years. The sessions, interventions,
special events, and parallel events are all through the Internet. Still, we are
meeting with the unwavering will of people from across the globe, to promote,
even more so, the fulfillment of Agenda 2030.

The COVID-19 attack is bringing out some decisive keys for the future, based on Sustainable Development:
to educate, especially the new generations, from the core of the Agenda 2030
and the Human Rights; to highlight the interrelationship between all the
ODS2030 to give a real and integral answer to the world’s problems; to promote
the digital deployment all over the world, without leaving anyone behind; to
fight with determination against the inequality within each country and between
countries; the need of the intergovernmental cooperation and the
multilateralism.

I said yesterday that it is impossible to attend all the events
organized during these two weeks: they are all relevant. I present to you the
themes of the ten training meetings, prepared by the ECOSOC training platform.
Each session begins with a presentation of the subject by a prominent speaker;
continues with a round table discussion. The round table is attended by 10 to
12 personalities from governments, universities, NGOs, companies, etc., who are
specialists in the subject under discussion. It is clear that the more you know
about reality, the more you realize what you still need to know.
