Call for nondiscriminatory development environment

Editor's note: The Havana Declaration was released on Sunday at the Group of 77 and China Summit, which brings together developing and emerging countries representing 80 percent of the world's population. The following are excerpts:

We note with deep concern that the major challenges generated by the current unfair international economic order for developing countries have reached their most acute expression in current times.

We stress the urgent need for comprehensive reform of the international financial architecture and a more inclusive and a coordinated approach to global financial governance, with greater emphasis on cooperation among countries, including increasing the representation of developing countries in global decision and policymaking bodies which will contribute to enhancing the capacities of developing countries to access and develop science, technology and innovation.
