The UN Secretary General and the President of the UN General Assembly hosted a High-level Event on the Millennium Development Goals at the UN Headquarters in New York on 25 September 2008. This Event, which took place at the halfway point to the target date of 2015 for achievement of the MDGs, provided a forum for world leaders to discuss progress, highlight gaps, and commit to specific steps needed for achievement of the MDGs. On the same day, a special event to highlight maternal health was held: Commitment to Progress for Mothers, Newborns, and Children. |
