Forum for East Asia-Latin America Cooperation: Uluwatu Declaration
29.
Foreign ministers of the Forum for East Asia-Latin America Cooperation
(FEALAC) member countries met in Bali, Indonesia, on 13 and 14 June 2013 and adopted
the Uluwatu Declaration. They recognized that addressing new and emerging challenges in
today’s globalized and interdependent world requires efficient collaboration, cooperation
and coordination among nations and other actors. They agreed to facilitate and strengthen
interregional cooperation and collaboration between East Asia and Latin America, to work
to reduce inequalities and gaps within and among member countries and to support the
attainment of sustainable, inclusive and equitable economic growth and development,
including the attainment of the MDGs in East Asian and Latin American countries.
30.
The Uluwatu Declaration covers a broad range of issues, including the belief that
micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of the FEALAC economies
and the largest source of domestic employment, providing opportunities for women and
youth to participate in economic development; the commitment to strengthen sociocultural
cooperation and promote greater people-to-people interactions through increasing cultural
education, sports and academic exchange, and interaction between parliamentarians and
civil societies; the intention to achieve universal health coverage and to strengthen disaster
risk reduction, preparedness and management; and the determination to continue engaging
constructively in the negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol towards a post-2020 ambitious climate change
regime.
31.
The FEALAC countries reaffirmed their commitment to develop closer
collaboration in preventing and combating transnational organized crime, including illicit
traffic in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, corruption, smuggling of migrants,
trafficking in persons, particularly women and children, which has grave impacts on human
rights, the rule of law, security and social economic development. They further
acknowledged the importance of creating a safe cyberspace, including by enhancing
international cooperation to combat cybercrime.
32.
The Declaration recognized the potential of South-South and triangular cooperation
as mechanisms that allow the sharing and promotion of the strengths and institutional
capabilities of the countries of both regions, based on solidarity and guided by the
principles of respect for national sovereignty and free from any conditionalities, to
contribute to their social and economic development. The FEALAC countries reaffirmed
their commitment to fight against poverty, achieve all the MDGs and work towards an
ambitious and implementable post-2015 development agenda that has at its centre poverty
eradication, the promotion of sustainable development, and equitable and inclusive growth.
