President Gustavo Petro is already in Havana, Cuba, where he will remain until this Saturday, September 16, to attend the G77+China Summit, a multilateral forum that brings together more than 130 countries from the global south to articulate and promote their collective economic interests. In this edition, the main topic is cooperation in sustainable development and the role of science, technology and innovation in this. To start his agenda on the island, the president receives a greeting and welcome from his Cuban counterpart, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. Then, around 8:15 in the morning, the opening ceremony of the panel will take place, which begins at 9:15.
In the afternoon, at 2:00 pm, Petro will intervene in the framework of the debate. As the Presidency has advanced, “Colombia will seek to promote its proposal for a more inclusive, representative and effective global financial governance, which will allow building the foundations of a new international financial pact that will help, especially, the most vulnerable countries in mitigation and adaptation.” of the effects of the climate crisis.” This proposal is part of the call that the president has already made before to achieve a decarbonized social economy, through a “global Marshall Plan.”

The summit, which was originally established in 1964 by signatories from 77 countries, currently brings together 134 States. China, which joined the panel in 1992, is considered an official member that participates and collaborates externally. This “constitutes an opportunity to agree on positions, from the south, around the challenges for development,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, which assumed the pro tempore presidency of this multilateral bloc for the first time.
