The South-South cooperation in the framework of Cuba's presidency of the G-77+China

Abstract

South-South Cooperation has been a priority issue for the G77+China since its inception. Despite the heterogeneity of their membership, they unite their efforts in the need to put an end to the main economic, political and social problems that affect them as developing countries, and the need to transform the unjust and unequal international environment that hinders their development possibilities. The Cuban Revolution, since 1959, has set significant guidelines in the field of international cooperation, which is part of the principles that govern its foreign policy. In this sense, Cuba has been one of the most active countries in South-South Cooperation, mainly in the area of human resources, the results of which have been recognized and have allowed it to achieve international prestige. This is one of the pillars of the current pro tempore presidency of the G77 and China, which Cuba holds during 2023, in which it has promoted various actions aimed at fulfilling the objectives proposed in the 2030 Agenda.
