FORUM: "Key Priorities and Future Directions in Advancing South-South and Triangular Cooperation for Sustainable COVID-19 Recovery: Towards a Smart and Resilient Future." United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation 2022.
Achieving the ambitious targets of the 2030 Agenda and adapting to the changing global context mentioned above will require engagement from stakeholders leveraging their diverse and unique advantages. South-South and triangular cooperation are important cornerstones of development activity and will serve as vital modalities for action as complements to North-South cooperation.
Follow the conversations with the hashtags: #SouthSouth, #TriangularCooperation and #SouthSouthCooperation.
In this era of unprecedented challenge and upheaval, solutions lie in solidarity.
South-South and triangular cooperation are critical for developing countries to mitigate and adapt to climate disruption, address the global health crisis, including COVID-19 recovery, and achieve all 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
It is important that Southern-led development solutions are shared far and wide.
South-South and triangular cooperation must play an ever-increasing role in resolving our common challenges.
But that does not absolve the wealthier nations of their responsibilities to work constructively with the developing world, especially to reduce growing inequalities between and within nations.
As we commemorate the United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation,I encourage all nations and communities to redouble cooperation and build bridges to achieve an equitable and sustainable future for all.
U.N. Secretary-General.

High-level Panel Discussion

18:20-19:45 BKK time / 7:20-8:45 am NY time
United Nations Conference Centre (UNCC), Bangkok, Thailand.
The global landscape has shifted significantly in recent decades. The world has seen important economic and demographic changes, cascading impact of climate change, a global health pandemic, a rise in global conflict and refugee flows, and rapid advancement in the availability and use of digital technologies. These developments have fundamentally changed the way that people live, work, connect and socialize. They offer new challenges but also provide new opportunities for human development.
This event will provide an opportunity for UN Member States to celebrate the UN Day for South-South cooperation and to reflect on their advocacy and commitment towards the contribution of South-South and triangular cooperation to urgent development solutions.
This event will also feature the launch of the publication “Good Practices in South-South and Triangular Cooperation for Sustainable Development – Vol. 4.” The new volume features more than 130 good practices presented by over 50 partners, including Member States, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), United Nations entities, and other development stakeholders.
The volume includes solutions on COVID-19 response and recovery, poverty alleviation, climate action, trade facilitation and digitalization. Building on the three prior highly successful editions, the 2022 volume significantly expands the South-South and triangular cooperation knowledge base across all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), highlighting innovation, and a greater diversity of partners now leveraging South-South and triangular cooperation collaboration for development.
A reception and a cultural event will be hosted by the Government of Thailand and UNESCAP.
