ITeM's director addresses European Parliament

Roberto Bissio

"The voices of civil society challenge the conventional wisdom and refresh the international debate" said ITeM's executive director Roberto Bissio during a hearing of the European Parliament in Brussels on South-South cooperation.

"South-South cooperation is meaningful and effective in terms of regional integration and unity in global negotiations. In relation with civil societies, the conventional North-South split is fast becoming meaningless after the Arab Spring," he added.
