HAVANA DECLARATION ON “CURRENT DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES: THE ROLE OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION”
Addis Ababa, September 16, 2023 (The Ethiopian Herald)- “The group of 77 needs a collective reflection on how to face the new global realities to have access to development, eradicate poverty, defend cultures and take its rightful place in the global decision-making that affects everyone. Since its establishment, this group has played an important role as a representative of the South and defender of its interests in many negotiations. We are a group of countries characterized by diversity in terms of geography, cultures and levels of economic development. That diversity should not be weakness, but strength,” said former Cuban President Fidel Castro while attending the G-77 summit.
