The Republic of Equatorial Guinea, through its Ambassador to
the European Union (EU), Carmelo Nvono-Ncá, announced the opening of the
South-South and Triangular Cooperation Office in Malabo on 10 October as part
of the country’s 50th anniversary of independence.
The opening will include a panel on international politics
with high-level international officials from government and non-governmental bodies,
including the United Nations (UN), EU, African Union (AU), and the government
of Equatorial Guinea.
Equatorial Guinea continues to be a focal point for
international and African cooperation and business as it prepares to welcome
offices for South-South Cooperation and the African, Caribbean, and Pacific
(ACP) Group in the country’s capital Malabo.
Equatorial Guinea has hosted these and other such
international organizations in the past.
The office is fully equipped for ACP and South-South
Cooperation meetings and operations, including a local staff offered by the
Government of Equatorial Guinea. The office is set to be the headquarters of
the exchange of information and key solutions for the development of the ACP
and South-South Cooperation.
The UN established South-South Cooperation to promote trade
and collaboration between developing countries, mainly African, Asian, and
South American countries.
Similarly, the ACP is focused on sustainable development and
poverty reduction of its member states, which include 79 countries over three
continents.
