"From climate impacts and debt burdens to digital and economic divides, the multiple crises we face expose deep inequalities in the global economy," Samarasinghe said.
"Developing nations, especially small and vulnerable countries like Sri Lanka, require urgent reforms and collective solutions to address these challenges," he added.
He reaffirmed Sri Lanka's support for UNCTAD's central role in shaping trade and development strategies and protecting the policy space needed for national priorities.
"Strengthening UNCTAD's analytical and technical capacities is essential," he noted.
