The Plenary of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly has unanimously adopted a resolution proclaiming the July 6 every year as the "World Rural Development Day".

Total 43 countries co-sponsored the resolution, which was adopted on September 6 by consensus by the member states of the UN, without any voting, according to a release. The Permanent Mission of Bangladesh to the UN in New York conducted the negotiations on the draft resolution, in close coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka, said the Bangladesh Mission on Saturday.
The resolution was initiated by Bangladesh, and was tabled by a core group comprising of Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Peru, the Philippines and Thailand.

This is indeed the first UN General Assembly resolution steered by Bangladesh after the assumption of the interim government; which marked the new government's commitment to cater the needs of those who are in need, through effective use of multilateralism, by ensuring equal access to opportunities in all areas of the SDGs, leaving no one behind.

The 6th of July has been chosen as the Day in commemoration of the date of establishment of the "Center for Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the Pacific (CIRDAP)" on 06 July 1979, as a recognition of the organization's assistance role in sustainable rural development endeavors in its member states in the Asia-Pacific region.

During the plenary session of the UNGA, Ambassador Muhammad Abdul Muhith, Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the UN, New York, presented the resolution before the UN General Assembly.

He underscored the importance of sustainable and inclusive rural development in attaining the 2030 SDG goals globally, including in areas like poverty alleviation, food production, socioeconomic development, ecosystem restoration and improved livelihoods.

Ambassador Muhith expressed optimism that the proclamation of the World Rural Development Day would create global awareness about the importance of collaborative actions on integrated, sustainable and inclusive rural development, and would accelerate worldwide movements and actions to enhance socio-economic progress for rural populations with the view to meet the 2030 SDGs.
