Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has told the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit that the world can’t wait any longer to adopt sustainable growth policies.

The Summit is expected to adopt 17 development goals which each member country will implement.

Bainimarama in his address said many developing countries don’t have the financial resources to deliver on the plans and their resolve to act.

He says the Summit needs to recognise that a lack of funding should be one of the key critical issues to be discussed.

However he goes on to say that developing countries, in order to receive grants and loans, must prove themselves trustworthy.
