Cuban summit calls for global multilateralism

China to boost South-South cooperation with G77 nations, senior CPC official says

Multilateralism and international cooperation rather than unilateralism, military or digital monopoly are the right way for the world to proceed, heads of state and government, senior officials and representatives of more than 130 member countries and regions of the Group of 77 and China declared in Havana on Saturday.

The "world-class event" raised the voice of the Global South at the two-day gathering, Cuba's Foreign Ministry said, as the summit agreed to declare Sept 16 as Science, Technology and Innovation Day in the Global South.

"During these days, Cuba has been the capital of the Global South, space of the everlasting hope, home of those who receive the least of global wealth despite having contributed the most," said Cuba's Prime Minister Manuel Marrero, who also thanked attending delegations for their firm support against the six-decade-long embargo on Cuba imposed by the United States.
