There are 32 landlocked developing countries worldwide, home to over 500 million people. Many are also among the world's least developed countries, facing structural challenges such as high transport costs, limited market access and vulnerability to climate shocks, according to UN News.

Robust infrastructure and improved connectivity remain critical to overcoming these barriers, facilitating trade and integration into global markets.

The LLDC3 conference aims to promote global partnerships to accelerate inclusive and sustainable development. (ANI/ WAM)
