President Yoweri Museveni has called on world leaders to support each other’s prosperity
and ensure that nobody is left behind. He stated this while closing the 3rd South Summit that
was held in Kampala, Uganda, 15 - 17 January 2024. He emphasised that during his
leadership of the organisation, he would advocate for three points, namely; production of
goods and services, dealing with the issue of markets and infrastructure.

He stressed that regional trading can aide the push for prosperity thus deepening
cooperation for Shared Global Affluence by working together. He however noted that
prosperity cannot be achieved if the group still has pockets of insecurity as this is among the
top impediments to investment.

Uganda has assumed the chairmanship of the Group of 77 plus China (G77+China) and
President Museveni will in the next one year lead the largest negotiating bloc of developing
countries which provides the means for the countries of the South to articulate and
promote their collective economic interests.

The Group of 77 (G-77) was established on 15 June 1964 by 77 developing countries.
