UNB, Dhaka :
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon emphasized improving the wellbeing of the vast majority of the world’s people recognising the great potential of South-South cooperation.
“Let’s recognise the great potential of South-South cooperation to improve the wellbeing of the vast majority of the world’s people,” he said in a message ahead of the United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation that falls on September 12.
The UN chief said the South-South cooperation can play a key role in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is to be adopted by world
leaders at a summit later this month at UN Headquarters, according to a message received from UN Information Centre, Dhaka on Thursday.
“As we embark on efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, we need to accelerate development momentum across the South, including by building resilience and mitigating risk,” said.
Ban Ki-moon said this will require attention to the needs of the most vulnerable by enhancing the productive capacities of Least Developed Countries and improving access to environmentally sound technologies, education, essential medicines and credit.
The United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation highlights the progress being made by the global South.
“Despite the ongoing challenges, developing countries have become critical actors in the global socioeconomic landscape,” said the UN chief.
