About G77

• The group was founded in 1964, by 77 non-aligned nations in the “Joint Declaration of the Seventy-Seven Countries” issued at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

• It is the largest intergovernmental group of developing nations (134 members) that focuses on inequality, sustainable development and poverty eradication.
• It creates an enhanced joint negotiating capacity in the United Nations.
• The South Summit is the supreme decision-making body of the Group of 77.
• Cuba held its chairmanship for 2023, succeeding Pakistan.

What is G77 Plus China?

• It’s called G77 Plus China because while China works closely with the group, but it does not officially consider itself a full member.
