The General Assembly is the primary deliberative body of the United Nations and, in effect, of global diplomacy. This year's session will comprise delegations from all 193 UN member states, which all have equal representation on a "one state, one vote" basis. Unlike other UN bodies, such as the Security Council, this means all members have the same power when it comes to voting on resolutions. It is also the only forum where all member states are represented.
Cape Verde has scored well on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with figures above average compared to African nations. This shows notable progress in areas like poverty reduction, education, and health.
