Global South Leaders Unite Against Exploitative International Order
Leaders from the Global South, represented by the G77+China summit, are demanding an end to the "plundering international order" dominated by wealthy Western nations. Frustration has grown over differences on issues such as the Russian war in Ukraine, climate change, and the global economic system. The summit aims to address the multidimensional crisis faced by developing countries, including unequal trade and climate disasters. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres called for a more representative and responsive world that addresses the needs of developing economies. The meeting is expected to conclude with a statement emphasizing the right to development and the establishment of a new economic world order.
