Over 60 years ago, a group of developing nations came together to ensure their voices were heard on the global stage, forming the Group of 77 (G77) at the United Nations. Initially comprised of 77 countries, the G77 has expanded to include 134 member states, making it the largest intergovernmental organization within the UN.
While China isn’t an official member, it has been a vital partner to the G77 for more than three decades. This collaboration, known as G77+China, has amplified the influence of the Global South, addressing critical issues such as poverty reduction, climate change, and the removal of trade barriers.
The alliance of G77+China represents a powerful force advocating for the interests of developing nations. Together, they strive to create equitable solutions and promote sustainable development across the globe. By uniting their efforts, these countries aim to shape a better future for all nations within the Global South.
The continued partnership between the G77 and China highlights the importance of solidarity among developing countries. As they face common challenges, their unified voice becomes ever more crucial in influencing international policies and achieving shared goals.
