  • As the global trade landscape evolves and the climate crisis accelerates, how are countries in Asia-Pacific strengthening their relationships and networks with other regions including Latin America and Africa? What is the role of BRICS countries in South-South cooperation and championing agri-food transformation?
  • What are the strategic objectives central to these partnerships, and how are public and private stakeholders addressing them through the implementation of open and inclusive trading systems, climate change adaptation, and smallholder finance?
  • Which mechanisms and programmes show positive outcomes, and how can these initiatives be further scaled and replicated across the Global South?
