The fifty-fifth session of the Trade Development Board in September 2008 agreed that the first multi-year expert meeting on "International cooperation: South-South cooperation and regional integration" should address the salient features of South-South regional and interregional integration schemes, including cases of effective/innovative South-South cooperation that augment South-North policy approaches in enhancing development.
The current global financial crisis has raised a number of serious concerns with regard to its impact on the global economy, financial sectors, FDI and trade.
This expert meeting will also discuss these concerns in the context of South-South cooperation and regional arrangements.
Three interrelated sessions are earmarked to cover discussion on:
- South-South trade and global financial crisis
- South-South cooperation: regional integration and FDI
- Global financial crises: South-South solutions?
Experts are encouraged to submit brief papers to the UNCTAD secretariat (approximately five pages) related to their studies, findings, and/or country´s experience. The papers will be made available to the meeting in the form and language in which they are received. Papers should be submitted by 15 January 2009 and addressed to Mr. Mohamed Elkeiy, Palais des Nations, CH-1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland; fax +41 22 917 0042; e-mail: mohamed.elkeiy@unctad.org. |
