LDC5 Postponement

 

 

With COVID-19 cases surging around the globe, largely driven by the new Omicron variant, the State of Qatar, in consultation with E. Courtenay Rattray, the Secretary-General of the Fifth Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC5), has taken the difficult decision to recommend postponing the conference.

 

We hope that by postponing the conference we can ensure a safer, in-person gathering at a time to be decided that increases attendance and ambition to help tackle some of the world¡¯s most systemic problems.

 

A decision on new dates is expected to be taken by the General Assembly in January. Further updates and details will follow.
