The Prime Minister of Bangladesh laid out her five recommendations for the betterment of the Global South and the world:
The recommendations are:
First: As a strong advocate of promoting peace, I believe that maintaining global peace and stability is vital to the overall well-being of humanity.
The Global South must maintain a united front against unilateral sanctions and retaliatory sanctions.
Second: Women, as half of the global population, are critical to building inclusive and vibrant societies.
As the longest-serving female leader, I know for sure that empowering women is a strategic imperative for a brighter and more equitable future.
Third: All efforts are important to limit global warming to 1.5o Celsius.
Increasing financing and transfer of relevant technologies for climate adaptation in the Global South is urgent.
Fourth: As major manpower-exporting countries, the Global South should streamline migration into the development process to provide a better life for all and contribute to economic growth in both host and home countries.
Fifth: LDCs face various economic challenges as a result of COVID-19 and conflicts in some parts of the world.
I urge the LDCs here to continue their duty, quota-free access and other facilities for a good period after graduation.
In conclusion, I emphasize the importance of South-South and triangular cooperation to promote global human development.
I also urge development partners, international financial institutions and stakeholders to generously support the Global South for a better future.
