On August 19, 2019, Mr. Jorge Chediek, Director of UNOSSC and Envoy of the Secretary-General on South-South Cooperation visited the TCS and had a meeting with Mr. Lee Jong-heon, Secretary-General of the TCS, where both sides agreed to take the initial steps towards expanded development cooperation.
During the meeting, Mr. Chediek noted that the three countries are very important for South-South and triangular cooperation. He highlighted that China is rapidly scaling up its South-South cooperation activities; that Japan is a pioneer of triangular cooperation; and that UNOSSC has collaborated with the Republic of Korea for over 8 years.
SG Lee emphasized that the three countries together contribute to over 20 percent of the world economy, making them very significant players in development cooperation. He reminded that despite this, the challenges facing the world today require cooperation and that all countries have potential to be both provider and beneficiary.
The initial collaborative steps following this meeting may include reviewing the possibility of compiling a ‘South-South in Action’ publication together with UNOSSC in ways that will capture the strength of the TCS. UNOSSC also suggested that the TCS share its experiences with other Regional institutions through UNOSSC fora such as the Global South-South Development Expo.
