Theme: Building momentum towards Gaborone: Partnering for a Decade of Action and Transformation in LLDCs.

The third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC3) will be held in Gaborone from 10 to 13 December 2024, at the highest possible level including Heads of State and Government. The Conference will adopt a decade long framework for international support to address the special needs of landlocked developing countries (LLDCs). Guided by the theme “Driving progress through partnerships”, the Conference aims to strengthen partnerships between the LLDCs and transit countries and their development partners.

Effective global cooperation is increasingly critical to our survival but difficult to achieve in an atmosphere of mistrust, using outdated structures that no longer reflect today’s political and economic realities.

It will create the conditions in which implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development can more readily be achieved.

Following the Summit of Future, this year’s Annual Ministerial Meeting of Foreign Ministers of LLDCs precedes the third UN Conference on LLDCs and provides an opportunity for LLDCs to prepare for the Conference.
