Private sector engagement is key to accelerating development in the world’s 32 landlocked developing countries (LLDCs), said delegates attending an event in the margins of the Second United Nations Conference on LLDCs, currently underway in Vienna, Austria.
In his opening remarks to the Business and Investment Forum, Secretary-General of the Conference, Gyan Chandra Acharya, said that the exchange between business and governments is “critical for partnerships and strategies to ensure a proper role for the private sector in the overall sustainable development of LLDCs.”
The day-long forum is an integral part of the Second UN Conference on LLDCs and brings together business leaders, government officials from landlocked countries and transit countries, as well as development partners.
