Vientiane September 7, 2023. The president of Laos, Thongloun Sisoulith, confirmed his participation in the Summit of the Group of 77 (G-77) and China, which will take place place in Havana on September 15 and 16.
The event, under the pro tempore presidency of Cuba, will be a favorable setting to debate and exchange ideas on the “Current Development Challenges: Role of science, technology and innovation.” During this year, Cuba has deployed significant activity in different spheres, to articulate actions that respond to the interests of developing countries. In this sense, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez has pondered the need for such a meeting in the midst of the global multi-sector crisis, and a post-pandemic scenario, to evaluate and draw up common strategies in defense of the economic development, sovereignty and independence of the members countries of the G77.
The participation of Laos will undoubtedly contribute for achieving those urgent objectives of the Summit.
