Global South NGO platform officially established in Baku

The Global South NGO Platform has been officially established in Baku, Azernewsreports, citing Ramil Isgandarli, a representative of the Azerbaijan National NGO Forum, as he said at the Founding Conference of the Global South NGO Platform held in the Azerbaijani capital.

According to Isgandarli, today's milestone is not merely the creation of a new platform, but the birth of a global movement.

He recalled that the idea for the platform originated from the momentum generated at COP29, bringing together individuals committed to fighting for equality:

"We realized it was time to establish the Global South NGO Platform. Our gathering here today aims to break the silence and make our voices heard on the global stage," Isgandarli said. "The Global South Platform unites people who share the same faith, face common hardships, and emphasizes the importance of close cooperation and joint implementation of projects. Together, we can make our world a more equal and brighter place."

The two-day event brings together prominent NGO leaders and civil society representatives from 116 countries.
