The 20th session of the High-level Committee
on South-South Cooperation will meet on 1-4 June 2021 to
review progress made in implementing the Buenos Aires Plan
of Action, the new directions strategy for South-South
cooperation, the Nairobi outcome document of the High-level
United Nations Conference on South-South Cooperation and the
Buenos Aires outcome document of the
second High-level United Nations Conference on South-South
Cooperation (BAPA+40).
Convening on 11 May, the Organizational Meeting of the
twentieth session of the High-level Committee on South-South
Cooperation elected the Bureau for its 20th session and
adopted its agenda.
Delegates, at this first High-level Committee
following BAPA+40, will also consider follow-up actions
arising from previous sessions of the High-level Committee
on South-South Cooperation, notably at its nineteenth
session, in 2016. Deliberations will also focus on actions
arising out of the consideration of the Report of the
Secretary-General to the nineteenth session (SSC/19/2),
which contained a comprehensive proposal on concrete ways to
enhance the role and impact of the United Nations Office for
South-South Cooperation, as well as the key measures taken
to improve the coordination and coherence of United Nations
support to South-South cooperation.
The thematic discussion of the twentieth
session, decided by the Bureau of the High-level Committee,
will be focused on “Accelerating
the achievement of the SDGs through effective implementation
of the BAPA+40 outcome document while responding to the
COVID-19 pandemic and similar global crises”.
At the request of the Secretary-General,
UNOSSC coordinated the preparation of the United
Nations system-wide South-South strategy on South-South and
triangulation cooperation for sustainable development with
the engagement of the United Nations Inter-Agency Mechanism
for South-South and Triangular Cooperation and other
stakeholders. As requested by the BAPA+40 outcome (A/RES/73/291, para
27 (f)), Member States will be informed about the
Strategy during the 20th Session of the High-level
Committee.
