Thank you, Chair.
My question is for the GAC officials.
One of the most encouraging things that I see about the global compact on migration is the focus on sustainable development. We cannot possibly hope to solve the global migration crisis by treating the symptoms alone. We need to address the root causes of why people leave in the first place. They are often forced to flee because of war and persecution, but many times, they flee in search of economic opportunities.
Can you please address the importance of sustainable development in managing migration and why it is important?
