News Release<\/span><\/p>\n

20 September 2010<\/span><\/p>\n

The same commitment to overcoming global poverty is needed as that which was generated in response to the crisis in the banking sector, a senior church official has told the head of the Swiss delegation to the UN summit meeting on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) underway in New York this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setri Nyomi, general secretary of the Geneva-based World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC), told Switzerland\u2019s Foreign Minister, Micheline Calmy-Rey, that the resources found in 2008 to address the financial crisis surpassed what many thought was possible at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe need that same level of commitment from nations like Switzerland if we are to meet the Millennium Development Goals,\u201d Nyomi told Calmy-Rey. \u201cHow could it be that there is money for a safety net for the financial crisis but not for the food crisis?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
