South-South cooperation

Written by Piergiuseppe Fortunato, UNCTAD Economist

Developing countries seek to rejuvenate and leverage their cooperation to make progress on the global goals.

The ambitious Belt and Road Initiative seeks to pull over 120 countries connected to China into a unified market using investment and lessons from its own economic ascent.

A special event organized by UNCTAD marks International Day for South-South cooperation and the achievements of decades of work to promote trade between developing countries.
