Spain’s head of international financing has told UN News that after deep uncertainty at the beginning of the year when power changed hands in the United States, the financing for development conference taking place in Sevilla has shown than multilateralism is “back on track.”

Inés Carpio told Matt Wells in the southern Spanish city that she was very optimistic coming out of the conference, when a platform for action was a major part of the outcome document, adopted on day one.

She explained how Spain and other countries were coming together to help relieve the developing world of its crushing debt burden and taking other immediate steps to accelerate action towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
