Cuba convenes in mid-September the leaders of the G77, an alternative to the great powers

June 14 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, has announced that the summit of leaders of the G77, a group of more than a hundred countries built on the margins of the traditional powers, will take place on September 15 and 16 in Havana, with the aim of reinforcing unity and facing “effectively” “contemporary challenges”.

“Every minute counts in the search for a solution to the pressing problems of our peoples,” Díaz-Canel proclaimed, in a video published on social networks and with which he wanted to confirm the date of a forum in which China and the where African, Asian and Latin American countries have a special presence.

The president of Cuba has stressed that the members of the Group of 77 –of which more than 130 countries are part– and China represent 80 percent of the world population and more than a third of the United Nations countries.

The September meeting will pay special attention to scientific and technological development, taking into account that it continues to be “inaccessible to a large part of humanity,” in the words of the Cuban president, who has attributed this uneven development to the “unfair” international economic order.
