Group of Friends of LLDCs

The Group of Friends for the LLDCs at the United Nations is an informal platform of member states and international stakeholders dedicated to raising international recognition and awareness, building consensus and strengthening partnerships in favor of LLDCs. The group aims to raise awareness of the special needs of LLDCs and by promoting the implementation of international agreements and policies, the group seeks to ensure that LLDCs receive the support and attention they need to overcome these obstacles.

The Group of Friends plays a crucial role in fostering dialogue between LLDCs and the broader international community, serving as a platform for collaboration and policy advocacy. It works to ensure that the interests of landlocked countries are represented in various UN forums, including the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council, and that they remain at the forefront of global discussions on sustainable development, climate change, and trade. By building partnerships with other countries and international organizations, the group facilitates the exchange of best practices, knowledge, and resources to help LLDCs achieve their development goals.

Additionally, the Group of Friends is explicitly recognized as a component of the means of implementation of the Programmes of Action for LLDCs, which are comprehensive frameworks designed to address the specific challenges these countries face. Through advocacy, partnerships, and policy initiatives, the group strives to enhance the economic growth and resilience of LLDCs, enabling them to fully participate in and benefit from global trade and development. Ultimately, the Group of Friends for the LLDCs is committed to advancing the collective interests of these countries and ensuring that their voices are heard in international policy-making processes.
