At the United Nations, Pakistan called for further intensification of cooperation among developing countries to complement North-South cooperation.
Deputy Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN in New York Aamir Khan, speaking at a session of the High-Level Committee also called it critical as the world contends with interlinked crises of finance, food and climate change.
“The South-South cooperation can have a robust impact in multiple domains including, but not limited to, trade; infrastructure connectivity; human capital; education; health; agriculture; science and technology; climate resilience, and; disaster risk reduction, among others,” Aamir Khan.
The Committee on South-South Cooperation is reviewing progress made in implementing the 1978 Buenos Aires Plan of Action for Promoting and Implementing Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries,
“South-South cooperation is not a substitute for, but rather a complement to, North-South cooperation and the developed countries must fulfill their commitments for North-South cooperation,” the Pakistani envoy said.
“We are hopeful that the South-South partners will continue to promote collaboration based on equal footing, mutual benefits, and win-win outcomes.”
