In a significant move to strengthen South-South cooperation, over 200 think tanks from Global South countries have come together to form a new alliance. This landmark gathering took place on Thursday in east China’s Nanjing City during the second Global South Think Tanks Dialogue.
The newly established alliance aims to foster deeper collaboration among emerging markets and developing countries, collectively known as the Global South. By uniting their intellectual resources, these think tanks seek to advance global governance and promote shared development goals.
Representatives from the participating think tanks expressed optimism about the potential impact of the alliance. They emphasized the importance of pooling expertise and sharing knowledge to address common challenges faced by countries in the Global South.
“This alliance marks a new chapter in South-South cooperation,” said a spokesperson during the dialogue. “By working together, we can amplify our voices on the global stage and contribute more effectively to international discourse.”
The Global South Think Tanks Dialogue provided a platform for scholars, researchers, and policy experts to exchange ideas and explore collaborative opportunities. The establishment of the alliance is expected to pave the way for joint research initiatives, policy consultations, and cross-border projects that support sustainable development.
The alliance’s formation in Nanjing underscores China’s role in facilitating dialogue among developing nations. It reflects a collective commitment to enhancing mutual understanding and driving progress through shared efforts.
As the alliance moves forward, it is poised to become a significant force in shaping policies that reflect the interests and aspirations of the Global South. The collaborative network is set to contribute to a more equitable and inclusive global governance framework.
