Developing nations participating in a summit held in Havana have declared September 16 as the annual "Day of Science, Technology, and Innovation in the South." These countries expressed deep concerns about the existing disparities between developed and developing nations in terms of scientific and technological capabilities. The group, known as the G77, which now includes 134 countries, called upon the international community and international financial institutions to support efforts in the Global South to enhance their science, technology, and innovation systems. The summit emphasized the need for greater cooperation among member nations in these areas and addressed issues such as unequal vaccine distribution, patent disparities, and the concentration of advanced digital production technologies in a few countries. The G77 reaffirmed its long-standing demand for a more equitable international economic and social order.
