On July 19th at the 2019 UN High-Level Segment held at the United Nations HQ, GFMD, represented by Owais Aslam, Secretary General of Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF) and member of the GFMD Steering Committee, delivered an oral statement.
In this statement, our network called for the strengthening of pluralistic and independent media and journalism on the road to achieving all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. In this sense, the proper implementation of public access to information laws and the safety of journalists are prerequisite to achieving progress towards the SDGs.
