The Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development is an initiative of President Xi Jinping, announced in September 2015 at the UN’s 70th anniversary in New York, as a platform for sharing experiencing among developing countries and providing training to their elites. The validity of a theory and an experience depends on the fulfillment of the theory’s and experience’s preconditions. The preconditions of developing countries are more similar among them than between developing countries and developed countries. The sharing of experiences among developing countries and learning from theories generated in developing countries are helpful for elites from developing countries to realize their aspiration of their motherlands’ industrialization and modernization to achieve poverty elimination and inclusive and sustainable prosperity. The above goals are exactly the mission of the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development. Let’s join hands and work hard for the realization of our common dream!

南南合作与发展学院是习近平主席2015年9月联合国70周年庆时在纽约提出的倡议，以作为发展中国家分享经验和培训精英的一个平台。理论和经验是否适用决定于理论和经验的前提条件是否满足。发展中国家之间的前提条件比发展中国家和发达国家之间相似，分享发展中国家之间的经验和学习来自发展中国家的理论，有助于发展中国家的精英实现他们各自祖国的工业化现代化以消除贫困迈向包容可持续繁荣的抱负。上述目标正是南南合作与发展学院的宗旨，让我们携手为实现上述共同的梦想而努力！
