Ahead of the Summit of the Future: the ILO at highest levels joins forces in celebrating South-South Day 2024
On Global South-South Cooperation Day, the International Labour Organization (ILO) celebrates the solidarity among Global South countries, highlighting shared histories and progress achieved through mutual cooperation. The ILO has consistently supported South-South and triangular cooperation as vital mechanisms for promoting decent work, social justice, and sustainable development. In an interconnected world, the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and resources among developing countries has driven innovation and resilience, especially in social protection, skills development, and labor market policies. Despite challenges, including those intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic, South-South cooperation remains crucial for building resilience and promoting inclusive recovery. The ILO remains committed to supporting these collaborative efforts, recognizing them as essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fostering a future of work that is inclusive, equitable, and sustainable. Through continued partnership, the ILO is confident that a better future for all workers can be realized.
