The Summit of the Group of 77 (G77) plus China concluded in Havana, Cuba, on September 16, bringing together delegations from over 100 countries. Established in 1964, the G77 now comprises 134 member countries, representing more than two-thirds of United Nations members. The summit served as a platform for developing nations to discuss shared challenges and opportunities in a rapidly changing global landscape.
On the streets of Havana, local residents expressed their hopes and concerns regarding the country’s economic development and the role of the G77 in addressing common issues faced by developing nations. Key topics highlighted by the Cuban people included sustainable development, housing shortages, environmental protection, and education. These concerns reflect broader challenges that many countries within the G77 are striving to overcome.
“We believe that by uniting, the G77 members can find better solutions to our problems,” said one local resident. “Solidarity is important for us to progress together and improve the lives of our people.”
The sentiment of unity and cooperation resonates across the G77 member countries as they seek to strengthen their collective voice on the international stage. By addressing issues such as economic inequality, climate change, and access to education, the G77 aims to promote sustainable growth and improve the well-being of their populations.
The summit’s discussions emphasized the need for collaborative efforts to meet current challenges. As the world navigates complex economic and environmental issues, the solidarity among developing nations becomes increasingly crucial. The voices of the Cuban people underscore the importance of collective action and shared solutions in the pursuit of a better future.
