Government representatives from 26 of the region’s countries who attended the First Session of the Regional Conference on South-South Cooperation in Latin America and the Caribbean called today for achieving a renewed agreement for international development cooperation with the aim of addressing the vulnerabilities of Latin America and the Caribbean linked to development challenges, an agreement in which no one is left behind and all people and countries must participate in order to attain the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by 2030, at the conclusion of the meeting held at ECLAC’s headquarters in Santiago, Chile.

The 300-plus participants in the Conference – which included a total of 100 government delegates, 35 experts from the UN System and regional and international organizations, and more than 60 representatives of civil society, the private sector and academia – advocated for economic integration and partnerships for growth, in addition to agreeing upon the promotion of innovative international cooperation mechanisms that go beyond the graduation criteria based on per capita Gross Domestic Product, such as multidimensional or vulnerability indicators. They also concurred on the need to strengthen synergies and partnerships with other stakeholders such as development banks, the private sector and regional and subregional integration mechanisms, as well as multi-stakeholder partnerships with civil society, local governments and academia on matters related to international development cooperation.
