Summit of the Group of 77 and China in Cuba (2023). A closer look at its results

Abstract

The most recent Summit of the Group of 77 and China (G77+China) was held in Havana, Cuba, on September 15-16, 2023. It constituted a strategic space to address the challenges of contemporary development, focusing on science, technology and innovation. The call for a common position of the countries of the South, capable of reflecting the concerns of developing nations in a global space of equality, without impositions, domination or exclusion, is a necessity that cannot be postponed. The results of the forum represent a step forward in the creation of an open, fair, inclusive and non-discriminatory environment, aimed at stimulating scientific and technological development. The adoption of a consensual political declaration is a key result to guide the course of action of its members in the current complex geopolitical scenario.
