At the invitation of the Government of the Republic of Cuba, the Chair of the G77 Group, and China in 2023, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha will lead the Vietnamese delegation to attend the G77-China Summit on the theme "Current Development Challenges: The Role of Science , Technology and Innovation" and pay a working visit to the Republic of Cuba from September 15-18.

The G77 group was established on June 15, 1964, through the signing of the "Joint Declaration of 77 Countries" by 77 developing nations at the end of the first session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNTAD) in Geneva. To date, the G77 comprises 134 members.

The G77 is a significant group of developing countries within the UN framework aimed at protecting and promoting the interests of the South, strengthening the position and voice of developing countries in negotiating international economic issues within the UN, and enhancing South-South cooperation.

In 1994, China joined the G77 Group. Since then, the name of the Group has been promoted in official documents and declarations, becoming the G77 and China Group.

Vietnam is one of the founding members of the G77 Group, a responsible and active contributor to regional and international issues within the Group. Vietnam's participation in the G77 demonstrates its role in fulfilling international obligations, engaging in multilateral forums, and promoting the voices and interests of developing countries, including Vietnam's own priorities and interests.

Vietnam and Cuba officially established diplomatic relations on December 2, 1960, opening a new chapter in the friendship between the two nations located on opposite sides of the globe.

For over half a century, since the two countries established diplomatic relations, the Vietnamese and Cuban peoples have always stood shoulder to shoulder in the struggle for independence and freedom, as well as in the cause of building and defending the socialist homeland in each country.

It can be said that, in contemporary world history, there are few relationships as special as the relationship between the two Parties, two States, and the people of Vietnam and Cuba.
