UN Day for South-South Cooperation: Ban urges the North to support those efforts

United Nations, New York, 18 December 2009 - Video done on the occasion of the United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation 2009 which will take place on the 19 December.

South-South cooperation, as an important element of international cooperation for development, offers viable opportunities for developing countries and countries with economies in transition in their individual and collective pursuit of sustained economic growth and sustainable development.

Developing countries have the primary responsibility for promoting and implementing South-South cooperation, not as a substitute for but rather as a complement to North-South cooperation, and in this context reiterating the need for the international community to support the efforts of the developing countries to expand South-South cooperation.

the background music is quite irritating and distracting... and i still don't really understand what 'concrete' solutions the south-south cooperation has in mind.
