Li Xi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, will attend the summit as the special representative of Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry. 

China looks forward to positive contribution of the summit to greater solidarity, closer cooperation and joint response to challenges among developing countries.  China stands ready to work with Cuba and other members of the Group of 77 to better safeguard the common rights and interests of developing countries, Mao Ning, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said at a press conference on Thursday. 

Established in 1964, the G77 now has over 130 members, with rotating chairmanship alternated among member countries from Asia, Africa, and Latin America based on regional principles. The chairmanship is held by Cuba this year, and the summit will bring together delegations from over 100 countries, including about 30 heads of state or government, according to media reports. 

Although China is not a member of the G77, it consistently supports its just positions and legitimate demands, maintaining a positive cooperative relationship under the "G77 and China" framework, according to media reports.

Themed "current development challenges: the role of science, technology and innovation," the summit this year will tackle "core" development issues, Cuban Foreign Affairs Minister Bruno Rodriguez was quoted as saying in media reports on Wednesday.

More than 30 heads of state and government will attend the summit, including Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Argentine President Alberto Fernandez and Colombian President Gustavo Petro as well as South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the UN, the AFP reported. 

"From the Havana Summit, we will reaffirm our commitment to multilateralism, cooperation and development," Miguel Díaz-Canel, the president of Cuba, was quoted as saying in the media report. 

"A main challenge that the Global South countries are facing is striving for more development space amid intensifying geopolitical wrestling," Song Wei, a professor at the School of International Relations and Diplomacy at Beijing Foreign Studies University, told the Global Times on Thursday. 

Currently, we see that Western countries represented by the US treat some developing countries, for example, Cuba, which do not share their political stance or meet the standards of the US, unfairly, by frequently implementing the "big stick" of sanctions, which is highly detrimental to the development of developing countries, Song said. 

In a press conference with some Chinese media on Wednesday, Cuban Ambassador to China Alberto J. Blanco Silva said the G77 is the "most extensive and diverse" multilateral coordination organization, with its members collectively representing 80 percent of the worlds population and over two-thirds of the member states of the UN, including some of the worlds largest economies, Chinese media outlet Caixin reported. 

As the host country, Cuba hopes to use this conference to strengthen the voice of G77 nations in the current international situation, according to Caixin. 

The consistent position of "G77 plus China" is to build a world that is more just, more inclusive, and advocates international solidarity and cooperation, the Cuban diplomat said. 

Commenting on the theme of the summit concerning the role of science, technology and innovation, the ambassador said scientific and technological progress is also key to achieving sustainable development. 

However, the current unjust international economic order has exacerbated the marginalization of many developing countries in socio-economic and scientific and technological advancement, leading to severe consequences, he noted. 

A few countries globally monopolize the majority of patents, technologies and research centers, accelerating the brain drain from various nations. This means theres a pressing need to change this profoundly inequitable and undemocratic system, the diplomat was quoted as saying in the media report. 

"Compared to previous years, this years summit has attracted more attendees, and besides the G77 countries, those from the Non-Aligned Movement and BRICS are also expected to make the voice for developing countries heard," Jiang Shixue, a professor at the Center for Latin American Studies at Shanghai University, told the Global Times on Thursday. 

"The Global South needs to enhance solidarity in order to tackle global issues and some ulterior moves by developed countries," Jiang said. 

Raising the profile of the Global South also reflects the dissatisfaction felt by many developing countries toward the current global governance and economic governance, as they also pay much more attention to their own development needs, Song said. 

China is not only one of the worlds primary economies, but also possesses valuable experience in promoting sustainable development through technological innovation. It has played a proactive role in the development agenda of the Global South countries, the Cuban ambassador said. 

中國在1990年代「加入」77國集團，但迄今未承認自身為成員國,只是依然例行參加G77會議,所以G77常以「77國集團＋中國」（G77+China）名義對外發布宣言。

今年由古巴擔任輪值主席國,G77+中國峰會的主題是「當前的發展挑戰：科學、技術和創新的作用」。

傳聞美國抗議為什麼獨特標誌CHINA ? （G77+China）

傳聞中國有意一統江湖,於中國廣州設立總部辦公與集會大樓,秘書處等常設機構,重新訂立章程或預算,以及繳納會員國的會費目前G77+China.的一般開銷則由舉辦國分擔7盛,其餘3成由各會員國分配繳納,支助G77+China 的日常運作,國際戰略觀察家分析認為,中國自從2000年開始幕後主導,.G77 GROUP.的年度運作等事項,換句話說中國長久以來,支援 G77 GROUP.的財務以及其他花費開銷,例如參加會員國的議會代表的交通費,膳宿費,以及大會場地租賃費,文宣刊印以及各國新聞媒體記者的贊助費用,等等由此看來中國早已深謀遠慮,要將G77 GROUP.組織起來,類似小型聯合國的常年運作,並擴大議會決議事項,協助會員國的經濟發展,國際貿易,文化交流以及醫療環境保護,等重大事項,由來已久中國勢在必得 G77 GROUP.的領導權.因此引起美國的注意,但是事實剩於雄辯,中國可望於2023.年（G77+China）高峰會同意成為正式會員國,國際戰略觀察家分析認為,中國腳踏實地的為世界和平發展,增進人類的福祉功不可沒.

特別報導古巴被美國至今扔然經濟制裁與封鎖,導致於古巴人民無法接受國際支援,僅依賴中國及俄羅斯幕後支援,雖然美國目前已與古巴恢復過來外交關係,但是傳聞俄羅斯希望重新返回古巴,再度建立軍事基地,設置S-400.防空飛彈系統,抵抗美國的突擊,因此美國極為可能性再度與古巴斷交.?..

Lula condemns at G77 Summit the illegal US blockade against Cuba..

And to this day (Cuba) is the victim of an illegal economic blockade,” said Lula, taking the floor on the second and last day of the G77+China Summit.

He remarked that “Brazil is against any unilateral coercive measure”, and “we also strongly condemn the inclusion of Cuba in the States Sponsoring Terrorism (SST) list”.

During his speech, Lula called for forging a common vision that takes into account the concerns of low- and middle-income countries, and other more vulnerable groups.

“We have to capitalize on the genetic heritage of our biodiversity with fair distribution of benefits, safeguarding intellectual property over our resources and traditional knowledge,” Lula added.

七十七國集團（英語：Group of 77）是一個由134個開發中國家組成的經濟組織,旨在促進其成員的集體經濟利益，並在增強其聯合談判能力。

七十七國集團於1964年6月15日成立。該組織的創始成員有77個,總部設在日內瓦,但據該組織此後已擴展到134個成員國。^]

1963年在第18屆聯合國大會討論召開貿易和發展會議問題時,73個亞非拉開發中國家和南斯拉夫,紐西蘭共同提出一個聯合宣言,當時稱為七十五國集團。後來肯亞,韓國,越南共和國加入,紐西蘭宣布退出。1964年6月15日,77個國家在日內瓦召開的第一屆聯合國貿易和發展會議上發表了《日內瓦聯合宣言》（又稱為《七十七國聯合宣言》）,提出了關於國際經濟關係,貿易與發展的一整套主張。七十七國集團由此成立。七十七國集團不設總部,秘書處等常設機構,也沒有章程或預算,每次聯大或貿發會議前該組織都要舉行部長會議,以研究對策,統一步調。紐約和日內瓦是七十七國集團兩個主要活動中心,在維也納和羅馬等多邊外交活動較多的地點均有分支。集團主席由來自亞非拉三大區域的成員國按地區原則輪流擔任，任期一年。
