“Landlocked” should be translated to mean "land-linked." LLDCs can learn from & depend on each other by exchanging knowledge & co-creating context-specific solutions, making South-South cooperation a vehicle of choice. At Int’l Telecommunication Union, we stand as your partner, advocate & ally on this
