SEVILLE, Spain, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Tuesday presented his Seville Plan, aimed at reforming and strengthening multilateralism, at the Fourth United Nations (UN) International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4), currently being held in the Spanish city of Seville.
Sanchez said Spain would seek to "open its door, extend its hand and do so when most needed," committing 0.7 percent of its GDP to international development aid, with the goal of combating climate change and promoting global health and humanitarian action.
As part of the plan, Spain will also open a United Nations House in Madrid to host UN agencies, with the aim of making it a hub for multilateralism.
Sanchez also announced that Spain would coordinate a platform of leaders and institutions to reform global governance.
"We advocate for a more inclusive and representative global governance, where all voices - including those of the Global South, those of youth, those of science and those of civil society - are on the table," he emphasized.
The conference, focusing on global development financing issues, will continue through Thursday, with participation from representatives of governments, international organizations, financial institutions, business communities, among others. Enditem
