It is unfortunate that calls for reforms of these systems and frameworks to create a fairer future for developing countries and make them reflect the realities of today\u2019s world remain unanswered and ignored by those unfairly advantaged by the status quo,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the failure of these global systems and institutions had not only reversed development gains made over the decades but continued to significantly derail efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p>President Masisi said government\u2019s journey over the past decades to ensure that Batswana were not left behind stood as a testament to how transformation for progress could be a catalyst for economic and social upliftment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the foundations of our economic diversification to our robust institutions, prudent economic management, and substantial investment in human capital development, my government continues to play a pivotal role in shaping our nation\u2019s destiny,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
