The G77 & China aims to promote multilateral collaboration through negotiation and lobbying. It strives to speak with one voice, representing nations of diverse economic, political and social prisms.  

In the past, through successive consultations, such as the Algiers Charter (1967) which sought to "harmonize the position of the developing world" and the Caracas agreement (1989), which articulated the need for improved international cooperation for development, the G77 has managed to firmly accentuate the pro-poor and pro-development agenda within the discourse of the United Nations.  

The G77 & China has developed Chapters with liaison offices in different United Nations Agencies namely Geneva (UNCTAD), Nairobi (UNEP), Paris (UNESCO), Rome (FAO, IFAD and WFP), Vienna (UNIDO) as well as the Group of 24 in Washington D.C. (IMF and World Bank).  

One of the unique aspects of the group is its diversity. This notable characteristic may be seen, simultaneously, as both a strength and a challenge, as it attempts to consolidate the positions of more than 130 countries.

Despite divergences that may have occurred in the past, the group successfully functions today as a unit, through effective negotiation and cooperation. Bound by common objectives, the group is unwavering in its commitment to speaking with one voice.
