Segundo Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Emir do Qatar, “…the United Nations system needs to evolve in line with situations that reflect the realities of a new world, a world not linked with interests alone, a world where it is imperative to have an agreement that confirms the principles that govern civilized behavior, while preserving the unity of interests.”
Segundo o Secretário-Geral da UNCTAD, Supachai Panitchpakdi, “Dramatic changes have taken place in the world economy since the last conference in Accra in 2008. The theme os UNCTAD XIII, agreeed among member States, conveys both our disappointment with the failure of finance-driven globalization to deliver prosperity and stability to many countries, in particular those in the developing world, as well as the need to establish different priorities, principles and policies, if we are to turn a fragile recovery into a balanced and secure future for all. We anticipate a very wide-ranging discussion in Doha, with high-level participation from Heads os State and Governments, senior policymakers, Heads of international organizations, CEOS from some of the world´s leading corporations, civil society leaders and eminent academics. I am delighted that an UNCTAD Conference should take place in the Arab region for the fist time ever.”
Ao longo da semana da Conferência, haverá mesas redondas debatendo quatro sub-temas: o terceiro World Investment Forum, Civil Society Forum, Technology and Innovation Day e Global Services Forum.
