The 2012 International Summit of Cooperatives will focus on economic and financial issues specific to cooperatives and mutuals and is the ideal place to forge high-calibre strategic alliances. The Summit will also give participants a chance to look at major international development trends and adopt a common vision of the global cooperative movement and the opportunities it offers. From this perspective, the Summit will serve to strengthen the network of cooperatives and mutuals around the world to create a real sphere of influence in all economic and political arenas.
