EDUCATION IS 'THE KEY' TO DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, PARAGUAYAN
PRESIDENT TELLS ASSEMBLYNew York, Sep 24 2013 9:00PMIn his address to
the United Nations General Assembly's high-level debate today, the
President of <"http://gadebate.un.org/68/paraguay">Paraguay
highlighted the importance of education and stressed that
opportunities, not hand-outs, helped countries achieve progress in a
dignified manner.

"Education is the key," President Horacio Manuel Cartes Jara said. He
is one of a host of leaders to speak at the annual General Assembly
session at which heads of State and Government and other high-level
officials will present their views and comments on issues of
individual national and international relevance. The debate runs in
New York through 1 October.

"The central issue is the quality of learning as a means of overcoming
the geopolitical constraint of backwardness and a lack of opportunity,
he added referring to Paraguay's geographic location as a land-locked
country.

He noted that improving the quantity and quality of education is a
fundamental premise of his new Government, which would lead to a
longer-term goal of development and opportunity for Paraguayans and
internationals alike.

"The new rules that govern the world therefore represent an access to
the ocean of development for my country," Mr. Cartes concluded.

On behalf of Paraguay, he asked the international community for
"opportunities to achieve progress in a dignified manner, not for
hand-outs."

He added that his country wanted to "work and study and truly become a
land of opportunity, of investment and prosperity, with security,
formality, reliability and foreseeability."

Today's speech is the first time that Mr. Cartes, who was elected last
month, participated in the high-level General Assembly debate.

He said the 21 April election process represents a "new direction,"
where Paraguayans freely altered from one political party to another
for only the second consecutive time in more than 200 years.

Among his other priorities, he said, is poverty alleviation: "It is
incomprehensible that a nation so rich in resources has so many poor."

He pledged that "no quarter will be given" in the fight to reduce the
country's poverty indicators as much as possible in the shortest time
possible. "Things are going to improve, and not merely through
assistance, but also by ensuring human dignity," Mr. Cartes said.

Poverty alleviation is one of the eight Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) due to top tomorrow's discussion at the Debate, along with
plans for a post-2015 sustainable development agenda.Sep 24 2013
