The Forum aims to review and strategically align existing instruments and new approaches with partnerships and networks. Ideally, this will go toward building an institutional alliance of the Global South to address global and regional challenges.

Representatives and diplomats from over 70 countries and regions – such as Cambodia and Bangladesh – have assembled at the forum, along with officials from the UN General Assembly High-level Committee on South-South Cooperation. They will not only review the major decisions and actions needed for a long-term South-South vision and strategic framework, but will also examine the efficacy of the existing multilateral South-South advocacy, financing and operational support architecture.
