Turkmenbashi /Turkmenistan/, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — The third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries concluded Friday at the Avaza National Tourist Zone in the Turkmen city of Turkmenbashi. The event, which was held from Aug. 5 to 8, was attended by representatives of more than 30 countries. The participants discussed expanding cooperation and a comprehensive approach to addressing humanitarian, economic, social and environmental problems of landlocked countries.
As UN Secretary-General António Guterres noted, many developing countries face financial difficulties and lack a voice in global financial governance. He called on the international community to create conditions so that developing countries without seaports can also benefit from scientific and technological progress.
The conference participants decided to establish a Group on Landlocked Developing Countries under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. This, in their opinion, will allow for more effective solutions to the problems associated with the vulnerability of these countries to increasingly frequent natural disasters.
The conference also endorsed the new Avaza Agenda for Action until 2034, which aims to become a concrete plan for deepening partnerships and creating conditions for sustainable development in the Global South.
There are 32 landlocked countries in the world. Their combined area is approximately 12 percent of the world's land surface and their population is approximately 570 million people. –0–
