Foreign action minister Alfred Bosch's second day in New York, on Wednesday, saw him meeting with the head of the UN's Global Campaign Center in charge of its Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Bosch explained to Marina Ponti the government's "full commitment" to the goals as part of the UN's Agenda 2030, which sets objectives for such things as eradicating poverty and implementing human rights around the world. 

"We are very concerned about what we can do for the planet, and not only to stop damaging it, but to improve it," said Bosch.

Joining the minister in the meeting was the Catalan government delegate to the US, Victòria Alsina, and Isidre Sala, the director general of the government's foreign promotion agency, Afers Globals.
