Executive Summary

The Global South—home to over 80% of the world’s population—possesses immense human and natural resources, yet faces persistent challenges including poverty, inequality, healthcare gaps, and geopolitical tensions. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed these disparities, underscoring the urgent need for global solidarity.
Historical Context: Building on a Legacy of Cooperation
GSS draws inspiration from historical international partnerships, including long-standing cooperation in health, education, food security, and disaster response. This legacy informs GSS’s emphasis on shared goals over political divides.
Noor Muhammad Kasuri’s leadership in Pakistan–India trade normalization demonstrated the transformative power of economic unity, laying the foundation for GSS’s broader global vision.
