India will do its best to promote South-South cooperation, which has become even more important at present because of the COVID-19 pandemic, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ruchira Kamboj said at an event.

“India has acted with a deep and abiding commitment to South-South Cooperation which it views as development partnership rather than donor-donee relationship. We’ve never let geography or geometry define our approach to assisting countries across the developing world,” said Ruchira Kamboj.
