"Ukraine will engage actively, constructively and in a spirit of partnership to achieve the SDGs, promote solidarity and build a more inclusive, just and resilient world for all," Sybiha assured.

The head of the foreign ministry also congratulated all elected ECOSOC member states, who "stand for the UN Charter and reject any attempts to undermine international law".

" We look forward to working closely together to uphold shared values and deliver tangible progress," Sybiha added.
