The Group of 77 was established in 1964 as an intergovernmental international organization composed of developing countries, with the aim of strengthening solidarity and cooperation to accelerate the economic and social development process of developing countries. China is not a member of the Group of 77, but has always supported the organization's just claims and reasonable demands. Since the 1990s, the relationship between China and the Group of 77 has made significant progress, and coordination and cooperation have been carried out through the mechanism of the Group of 77 and China.

Bai Shide emphasized that this mechanism is of great significance not only because China is one of the world's major economies, but also because of its valuable experience in promoting sustainable development through scientific and technological innovation, as well as its positive role in development projects in South South countries. Cuba thanks China for its support as the rotating presidency of Cuba, and reiterates that China's participation and support are of great significance for the success of this summit.
Bai Shide expressed that Cuba is willing to closely cooperate with China and other member countries of the group to seek common solutions to the most urgent problems facing humanity.
