Nigerian President Advocate For Least-Developed Countries Integrated Into Global Value Chain 

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged developed and developing nations to grant duty-free and quota-free market access for products from the world’s 46 least-developed countries to ensure their integration into regional and global value chains. <br />The President criticised the current structure of the global financial system which places an unsustainable external debt burden on the most vulnerable countries. <br />He cautioned that such debt burdens would make it extremely difficult for LDCs to meet the 2030 Agenda for Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. <br />President Buhari underpinned the need for reforms of the international financial architecture that prioritizes the need of Least Developed Countries.
