Need for the conference:

- Former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan underlined the need for global action: "Across the world, the threat [of diabetes] is ignored and under-funded. Tackling diabetes must be a priority. It is so serious that we all have to be involved if we are to reverse this epidemic."
