The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Verónica Macamo, urged the Group of 77 + China to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda during the summit held in Kampala, Uganda, on January 21. In her speech, she advocated a new, fairer world order as a response to the current complexity and dynamics of international relations.
According to Rádio Moçambique (RM), the minister explained that, despite the economic challenges affecting most countries in the South, it is up to the members of the organization to solve these problems and form a community capable of promoting common development. She reaffirmed Mozambique’s commitment to multilateralism and called for a thorough reform of the international financial architecture, as well as a rational treatment of the growing external debt in developing countries.
Verónica Macamo spoke on behalf of the President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, at the Group of 77 + China summit, pointing out the obstacles that hinder the organization’s rapid progress. The Group of 77 + China is a coalition of developing nations that aims to promote collective economic interests and strengthen joint negotiating capacity at the United Nations (UN).
During the summit, the rotating presidency of the Group of 77 + China was transferred from the Republic of Cuba to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
