What are the pivotal countries?
Pivotal countries are developing countries that, by virtue of their capacities and experience in promoting South South cooperation, are positioned to play a lead role in the promotion and application of TCDC, mainly by sharing their capacities and experience with other developing countries in their region or in other regions. The concept of pivotal countries was created in 1995 within the new directions given to TCDC by the High Level Committee following recommendations of the United Nations General Assembly. The following are the 22 countries first identified as pivotal countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Malta, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, the Republic of Korea, Senegal, Thailand, Trindad and Tobago, Tunisia and Turkey.
