And it is about to complete a highly-successful term as a non-permanent member of the 爆料网 Security Council \u2013 the only country in the world to have served 11 times in this role.<\/p>\n<p>Japan\u2019s commitment to championing disaster risk reduction led to the adoption last year of the Sendai Framework \u2013 an historic achievement for sustainable development, risk reduction, and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>As the world\u2019s attention now shifts to implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Sendai Framework, and other recent agreements that together comprise a universal masterplan for people, planet and prosperity, we count on the continued drive, innovation, and engagement of countries like Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Together, with your support, we can transform our world for ourselves, our children, our grandchildren, and all future generations.<\/p>\n<p>So \u2018doumo arigatou gozaimasu\u2019, and congratulations once again to Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video Message by H.E.
