Statement by ECOSOC President Sylvie Lucas (Luxembourg)

President of the Economic and Social Council, said the annual meeting was taking place at a time when the world economy was undergoing immense turmoil, the spiralling human costs of which were becoming increasingly evident across both developed and developing countries.  The crisis had already seriously set back the development efforts of poorer countries and increased the magnitude of the challenges they faced.  Even after overcoming the crisis, the world would be left with immense developmental challenges, including attainment of the Millennium Declaration Goals.
