The United Nations marked another year of South-South Cooperation Day in September even as the developing world reels under recurrent crises — from the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine to the crisis in Bangladesh along with disaster, displacement and extreme weather events the world over.

Countries like India, China, Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa have been building a definitive Southern narrative by sharing their best practices and technical knowledge with fellow developing partners. However, SSC as an institution appears to have lost steam in the current geopolitical matrix. China holds a special position in the international development landscape from the Southern bloc.

China’s geopolitical arm-twisting has unnerved other Southern countries, particularly India.
