South-South cooperation has emerged as a vital mechanism for countries in the global south to share knowledge, technology, and financial resources in pursuit of common development goals. In the context of the oil and gas industry, this cooperation presents a unique opportunity to promote sustainable energy development, regional integration, and economic resilience.

This session explores how countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East can deepen collaboration in the oil and gas sector to drive mutual growth. Key areas of focus include joint ventures, technology transfer, local content development, policy harmonisation, and cross-border infrastructure projects. Namibia, as a growing player in the global energy landscape, is uniquely positioned to benefit from and contribute to this collaborative momentum.

South-South cooperation is not just a diplomatic ideal—it’s a practical and strategic pathway toward sustainable, inclusive energy development. For Namibia and its peers, leveraging shared strengths can unlock new frontiers of growth and resilience in the oil and gas industry.
