  • Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. It's A
    Address by H.E. Ambassador Saida Muna Tasneem On Recognition of Bangladesh's Outstanding Contribution to South-South Cooperation: Regional Commemoration on the United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation (UN Conference Centre, Bangkok, 12 September 2018) Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. It’s a privilege for me to join you all today to commemorate the United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation and celebrate how Southern countries are strengthening mutual cooperation to achieve the ambitious 2030 agenda, and how the Northern, more advanced countries are extending their support in that cooperation. I would like to begin by expressing my gratitude to the UN Office for South- South Cooperation for allowing me this opportunity to share with you all the remarkable story of how Bangladesh is disrupting traditional, linear development models to innovate an alternative pathway to socioeconomic progress, and the crucial role of South-South Cooperation in it. In his first address at the UN General Assembly in 1974, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman spoke passionately about the need for countries to come together to build “…a world where human creativity and the great achievements of our age in science and technology will be able to shape a better future…based upon a sharing of technology and resources on a global scale so that people everywhere can begin to enjoy the minimum conditions of a decent life.” Forty odd years later, the meteoric rise of the Global South, both in terms of trade and human development, is now being accompanied by increased calls for countries facing similar underlying development challenges to learn from, and support one another.
