The 7th Summit Level of The Group of 15
The 7th Summit Level of The Group of 15
|
The Group of Fifteen (G-15) was established as a Summit Level Group of Developing Countries in September 1989 following the conclusion of the Ninth Non-Aligned Summit Meeting in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Members of the Group are Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya (new member), Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Senegal, Venezuela and Zimbabwe. The G-15 was established in the firm belief that there is considerable potential for greater and mutually beneficial cooperation among developing countries, with a view to enlarging collective self-reliance in an increasing interdependent world, especiallt in the areas of investment, trade and technology. By acting as a catalyst for greater South-South Cooperation, the G-15 aims at facilitating national efforts for development and economic progress. This cooperation is also expected to lend greater cohesion and credibility to developing countries in their efforts to pursue a more positive and productive North-South dialogue. Inthis connection the G-15 has served as a forum for regular consultations among developing countries with a view to coordinating polocies and action of South countries at global level and to assist in the formulation and implementation of programmes of cooperation. The G-15 has established a wide range of development and technical cooperation projects. A Committee on Investment, Trade and Technology (CITT) helps the Group to evaluate, guide, facilitate and promote trade, investment and technology flows among G-15 countires, and to reduce barriers to such cooperation. The activities and programmes of the G-15 are supported by a Technical Support Facility, located in Geneva. Since its inception, the G-15 has successfully held six Heads of State and Government Summit Level Meetings. They are Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 1 - 3 June 1990; Caracas, Venezuela, from 27 - 29 November 1991; Dakar, Senegal from 21 - 23 November 1992; New Delhi, India, from 28 - 30 March 1994; Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 5 - 7 November 1995; and Harare, Zimbabwe, from 3 - 5 November 1996. Malaysia is once again honored to host the seventh Summit in Kuala Lumpur from 3 - 5 November 1997. |
