Iraq congratulated on takeover of presidency of Group of 77 and China

China's ambassador to the United Nations, Fu Cong, reiterated the importance of multilateralism and global collaboration on Monday while attending the ceremony for the presidency handover of the Group of 77 and China.

With ongoing conflicts, slow economic recovery, and rising unilateralism, multilateralism faces serious challenges. The Group of 77 and China must unite to address these issues and advance shared development, Fu said.

Iraq assumed the presidency of the Group of 77 and China on Monday, taking over from Uganda. The bloc, which includes 134 developing nations and China, is the largest coalition within the United Nations. China extended its congratulations to Iraq, expressing full support for its leadership.
