Ambassador Ib Petersen of Denmark announced that based the negotiations by delegates who met in small groups on Friday afternoon , the co-facilitators will work on finalizing this revised text, as it has now been discussed by delegates. The delegates will not be meeting again for consultations next week. Instead the co-facilitators will circulate the final draft in a silent procedure on Monday at Noon, at the latest, with a 24 hour deadline. On Monday, the co-facilitators will inform the PGA about status and result.

Member States agreed that the HLPF themes and subset of goals will remain the same, however  goal 17 will be deleted. Instead the resolution will state in PP4 that MOI to be  reviewed annually. Member States also agreed that there will be two HLPFs under the auspices of ECOSOC and the GA in 2019.
