NEW DELHI: Mukesh Ambani has been named by the UN to a key advocacy group on millennium development goals. Its mandate includes fighting poverty, reducing child mortality rates and fighting AIDS. Mr Ambani is the only Indian to be a part of the MDG advocacy group that comprises Bill Gates and Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, among others.
Mr Ambani is expected to focus on a global partnership for development, that will include development of an open, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system.
UN said he will look at the special needs of the least developed countries as well as landlocked developing countries and small island developing states. Mr Ambani’s appointment to the group comes at a time when the 2010 Millennium Development Goals report card paints a dark picture for South Asia, which includes India.
