77国集团简介
77国集团 (Group of 77 -- G77) 是发展中国家在维护自己经济权益的斗争中逐渐形成和发展起来的。第二次世界大战后,亚非拉广大发展中国家虽然获得了政治上的独立,但在经济上并没有获得真正的独立,依然受国际经济旧秩序的影响。1963年第18届联合国大会讨论召开贸易和发展会议时,73个亚、非、拉国家和南斯拉夫、新西兰共同提出一个联合宣言,形成“75国集团”。后来肯尼亚、韩国、越南加入,新西兰宣布退出。1964年6月15日在日内瓦召开的第一届联合国贸易和发展会议上,发达国家和发展中国家在一些重大问题上产生尖锐分歧。77个发展中国家和地区联合起来,再次发表了《77国联合宣言》,要求建立新的、公正的国际经济秩序,并以此组成一个集团参加联合国贸易和发展会议的谈判,因而该集团被称为77国集团。虽然后来成员国逐渐增加,但集团名称仍保持不变。
1967年,77国集团第一次部长级会议在阿尔及利亚举行,会议通过了该组织的宪章。该集团的宗旨是在国际经济领域内加强发展中国家的团结和合作,推进建立新的国际经济秩序,加速发展中国家的工业化进程。
该集团组织松散,不设总部,也无常设机构,没有章程和财务预算,议事时采取协商一致的原则作出决定。但在主要的国际经济机构中都有它的组织。

它在联合国、贸易和发展会议、工业发展组织中的活动尤为活跃。每届联大和贸发会议举行之前该集团通常举行部长级会议,协调立场,研究对策,部长级会议是该组织的最高权力机构。主要出版物有《77国集团通讯》等。
该组织成立多年来,已成为发展中国家在国际经济组织中共同利益的代表。它在促进南南合作、推动南北对话、为维护自己的正当权益以及改变不合理的国际经济秩序进行了不懈的努力,并取得了可喜的成就,在联合国贸易和发展会议主持的谈判中达成了一系列对发展中国家有利的国际公约和协定。
中国不是77国集团成员,但一贯重视发展同77国集团的合作,支持77国集团的正义主张和合理要求,并与其保持良好的合作关系。中国曾以特别客人或观察员的身份多次出席77国集团的部长级会议。自20世纪90年代以来,中国同该集团的关系在原有基础上有了较大的进展,形成了“77国集团+中国”的新合作模式,目前中国已全面参加与该集团的所有会议和活动。2000年4月,来自77国集团122个成员国以及中国的高级代表团在古巴首都哈瓦那举行首届南方首脑会议。2005年6月,“77国集团+中国”第二届南方首脑会议在卡塔尔首都多哈举行。
截至2005年5月,77国集团有成员国134个。
About the Group of 77
Establishment:
The Group of 77 (G-77) was established on 15 June 1964 by seventy-seven developing countries signatories of the “Joint Declaration of the Seventy-Seven Countries” issued at the end of the first session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in Geneva. Beginning with the first “Ministerial Meeting of the Group of 77 in Algiers (Algeria) on 10 – 25 October 1967, which adopted the Charter of Algiers”, a permanent institutional structure gradually developed which led to the creation of Chapters of the Group of 77 with Liaison offices in Geneva (UNCTAD), Nairobi (UNEP), Paris (UNESCO), Rome (FAO/IFAD), Vienna (UNIDO), and the Group of 24 (G-24) in Washington, D.C. (IMF and World Bank). Although the members of the G-77 have increased to 130 countries, the original name was retained because of its historic significance.
Aims:
The Group of 77 is the largest intergovernmental organization of developing states in the United Nations, which provides the means for the countries of the South to articulate and promote their collective economic interests and enhance their joint negotiating capacity on all major international economic issues within the United Nations system, and promote South-South cooperation for development.

Structure:
The operation and modalities of work of the G-77 in the various Chapters have certain minimal features in common such as a similarity in membership, decision-making and certain operating methods. A Chairman, who acts as its spokesman, coordinates the Group’s action in each Chapter. The Chairmanship, which is the highest political body within the organizational structure of the Group of 77, rotates on a regional basis (between Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean) and is held for one year in all the Chapters. Currently Pakistan holds the Chairmanship of the Group of 77 in New York for the year 2007. Ambassador Munir Akram is Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations and Chairman of the Group of 77 in New York.
The South Summit is the supreme decision-making body of the Group of 77. It is convened once in every five years. The First and the Second South Summits were held in Havana, Cuba, on 10 – 14 April 2000 and in Doha, Qatar, on 12 – 16 June 2005, respectively. In accordance with the principle of geographical rotation, the Third South Summit is due to be held in Africa in 2010.
The Annual Meeting of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of the Group of 77 is convened at the beginning of the regular session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York. Periodically, Sectoral Ministerial Meetings in preparation for UNCTAD sessions and the General Conferences of UNIDO and UNESCO are convened. Special Ministerial Meetings are also called as needed such as on the occasion of the Group’s 25th anniversary (Caracas, June 1989), 30th anniversary (New York, June 1994), and 40th anniversary (Sao Paulo, Brazil, June 2004). Other Sectoral Ministerial Meetings in various fields of cooperation of interest to the Group are convened, in order to pursue South-South cooperation. Starting in 1995, the Group convened a series of sectoral meetings in the following fields:
