The Group of Fifteen (G15) is an informal forum set up to promote cooperation and offer input to other global groups like the
World Trade Organization (https://testbook.com/ias-preparation/wto-and-india/) (WTO) and the Group of Seven. It was
constituted at the Ninth Non-Aligned Movement Summit Meeting in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in September 1989 and is composed
of nations from Latin America, Africa and Asia with a common goal of improved growth and wealth. The G15 aims at
cooperation between evolving countries in the areas of investment, trade and technology. Membership has since expanded to 18
countries, but the initial name has remained unaltered. Chile, Iran and Kenya have since joined the Group of 15, while Yugoslavia
is no longer part of the group. Peru, a founding member state, decided to step out of the G15 countries in 2011. The summit- LIVE

Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) (https://testbook.com/ias-preparation/non-aligned-movement-nam/) is a forum of 120 CLASSES
nations that are not officially aligned with or against any significant power bloc. After the United Nations, NAM is the major
grouping of nations worldwide.
The movement emerged as a consequence of the Korean War, as an endeavour by a few nations to counterbalance the
swift bi-polarization of the world over the course of the Cold War, by means of which two significant powers formed blocs
and embarked on a policy to pull the rest of the world into their orbits.
One of these was the pro-Soviet, communist bloc whose most known alliance was the Warsaw Pact and the other was the
pro-American capitalist group of nations, many of which pertained to NATO (https://testbook.com/ias-preparation/north-
atlantic-treaty-organization-nato-notes/).
South-South Cooperation
South-South cooperation is a demonstration of unity between peoples and nations of the South that contributes to their
domestic well-being, their national and collective self-reliance and the accomplishment of globally accepted development
goals, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
In this article, let us look at the origin and development of the Group of Fifteen, its objectives, the organizational structure,
activities carried out and the G15 group of countries in detail for the UPSC IAS Exam (https://testbook.com/upsc-civil-services).

Origin and Development of the Group of Fifteen

The Group of Fifteen (G15) was set up by fifteen evolving countries in 1989 at the ninth Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)
Summit in Belgrade as an action group with the job of a catalyst for the Third World.
The purpose was to reinforce cooperation between the world’s leading developing countries and act as a bridge to the (then)
G7 industrialized countries.
The founder member-states were Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Jamaica and Venezuela from America; Egypt, Algeria,
LIVE
Senegal, Nigeria and Zimbabwe from Africa and India, Malaysia and Indonesia from Asia. 270

The first G15 countries summit was conducted in Malaysia in 1990. 41

In 1996, 11 members of the group were among the 50 top exporters and importers of the world. Collectively, these nations
accounted for 10 percent of the world’s goods exports and 10 percent of the world’s imports. Their population size of 1.8 CLASSES
billion accounts for nearly 30 percent of the international population.
Kenya was admitted as the 16th member at the Kuala Lumpur Summit in 1997.
Sri Lanka joined in 1999.
Iran and Columbia were admitted in 2000.
The nomenclature of the group still remains the same.

To carry out an analysis of the effect of the world economic situation and the state of global relations of evolving countries.
To act as a platform for regular consultations among evolving nations with a view to coordinating policies and actions.

Group of Fifteen Structure

The ultimate decision-making body of the G15 is the yearly summit meeting of its Head of State and Government (HOS/G)
which is presided over by the nation hosting the summit.
To prepare for the yearly summit and to coordinate the operation of the group, the foreign ministers of the G15 nations LIVE
270
generally meet twice a year.
QUIZZES
41
The day-to-day work of the G15 is controlled by the personal delegates of the HOS/G. These delegates meet at least four
TESTS
times a week and are directed in their work by a troika that comprises the present, past and future chairmen of the group.
Ministers of Trade and Economics of the G15 nations meet as and when considered necessary. In addition, other ministers of CLASSES
the member-states may meet when necessary.
The G15 is supported by a Technical Support Facility (TSF) premised in Geneva. The TSF operates under the direction of the
Chairman for the present year and is accountable for granting fundamental and technical secretariat assistance for the
activities of the group and for encouraging its objectives.
Private sector involvement in G15 activities is fostered and actively promoted. The G15 has constituted a Business
Investment Forum (BIF) and a Committee on Investment, Trade and Technology (CITT) to promote engagement among the
private and public sectors and among the business communities of member-states.
Steering committee (Troika)
A steering committee, or Troika is made up of three foreign ministers, one from the country that hosted the preceding
summit, one from the present host country and the third from the anticipated next host countries. These three
ministers are accountable for oversight and coordination.

Activities of Group of Fifteen

The G15 strives to search for a more equitable economic order and one of its important concerns is to bridge the rising
discrepancies among the North and South.
At different global fora, the G15 has called upon the developed nations to be delicate to the necessities and preferences of
the evolving nations while adopting macro-economic policies.
The member-states have sought the reform of significant global financial and trade institutions so as to allow utmost benefits
for the less-developed nations and to integrate the evolving nations with the global economy.
As for South-South cooperation, members have taken steps to boost inter-dependency in areas such as trade, transport,
exchange of information and technology, technical expertise and infrastructural advancement and, in general, to lessen their
reliance on the North. LIVE

Combating poverty and unemployment is another important area of cooperation for the G15.
QUIZZES

The G15 has also instituted a wide range of economic and technical cooperation projects. Each project is coordinated and

financed by the launching nation. Projects have been created in domains such as environment, technology, education, trade
and investment. G15 projects are open to participation by all evolving nations. Each of these projects is backed by a system CLASSES
