"The Sustainable Development Goals to be issued in 2015 should fully comprehend the MDGs. And it`s important to have an objective evaluation of why some goals were missed or exceeded their targets," the president told the press here Friday before leaving for Ecuador for a two-day state visit.
"So, years later, when using the same time line, the SDGs, or whatever it`s named later, should be better than the present MDGs," he said.
Earlier, in Los Cabos, Mexico, Yudhoyono and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon met on the sidelines of the G20 Summit to discuss cooperation in post-2015 (MDGs).
"In my meeting with Ban Ki-moon we discussed setting up a high-level panel to formulate a framework of cooperation in post-2015 MDGs," the President said on Thursday (June 21), before leaving for Brazil to attend the Rio+20 Conference.
The high-level panel, which will be jointly led by President Yudhoyono, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, is expected to begin its work after the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development.
Ban Ki-moon has already asked Yudhoyono, Cameron and Sirleaf to co-chair the high-level panel on post-MDGs.
Together, they will begin a process to build a new international framework for development which will become operational after the current MDGs expire in 2015. (*)
