So what?
•UNIDO background paper has an interesting
route for our discussion and plans of action: •The rise of the South in world industry and manufacturing trade •Productive employment: cornerstone of development and poverty reduction •Growing role of South-South in world manufacturing trade •The rise of industrial powers in the South • South-South cooperation in technology and FDI •Trade liberalization, industrial development and poverty reduction In my view, Brazil’s international challenge....
...is how to deal with the
Chinese crowding-out effect on the world resources...
...and with the way the
BRIC economies will evolve in the near future. So, South-South cooperation for us means... ...we should know how to create triangular situations where our BRIC condition may represent a win-win-win deal for both our partners and us... ...and the best scenario is a SSN cooperation, i.e, a South-South cooperation to a fair trade of goods and services with the North.
