Many countries are affected drastically due to a hurricane and to help them many countries along with India have come forward. To help hurricane-affected countries, India has contributed an additional $3 million to the India-UN Development Partnership Fund, a facility established in June 2017 to support other developing countries in their efforts to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, with this additional contribution of $3 million, India till date has provided $5 million to the Facility. The Ambassador and Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations in New York, Syed Akbaruddin said this new contribution to the India-UN Partnership Development Fund emphasizes India`s commitment to support its partner countries in the spirit of solidarity, and its increasing engagement in cooperation through the United Nations system. The contribution today will also support reconstruction efforts in two of our partner countries, Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica. Earlier at the 3rd India-CARICOM Ministerial Meeting on the sidelines of UNGA in New York, the External Affairs Minister of India Sushma Swaraj announced of granting a fund of $2 million from India to UN Development Partnership Fund for rehabilitation projects in CARICOM as a token of solidarity.
