Bangladesh has proposed establishment of a forum of ministers of the South and announced that it is setting up a ‘South-South Knowledge and Innovation Centre’.
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen at a UN high-level meeting also underscored the importance of South-South Cooperation in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, the foreign ministry said.

He said Bangladesh had highlighted the importance of South-South cooperation in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda even before its adoption.
Bangladesh has been elected as one of the vice presidents of the conference which will end on Mar 22.

With the centre, he said, developing countries will be able to share their innovative practices and identify experiences which could be “transferred, replicated and scaled up”.

He met President of General Assembly María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, Foreign Minister of Georgia David Zalkaliani and Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs of Guatemala Jairo D Estrada.
