The Almaty Declaration2 and Programme of Action reflect the continued and strong commitment of the international community to addressing the special needs and problems of landlocked developing countries as called for in the United Nations Millennium Declaration.3 The overarching goal of the Almaty Programme of Action is to forge partnerships to overcome the specific problems of the landlocked developing countries that result from their lack of territorial access to the sea and their remoteness and isolation from world markets.
La Déclaration et le Programme d'action d'Almaty traduisent le souci constant et la ferme volonté de la communauté internationale de répondre aux besoins et aux problèmes particuliers des pays en développement sans littoral comme le préconise la Déclaration du Millénaire.
