Building on the relative success of the Millennium Development Goals, Nepal is committed to pursuing and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. While SDGs are an internationally agreed set of common development objectives, I am pleased to note that these global ambitions are broadly aligned with the social, economic and environmental aspirations that Nepal has set for itself in its new constitution. The SDGs, therefore, are not just an international milestone, but they represent a set of solemn commitments made by the people of Nepal for shared progress.
