The Group of 77 is the largest intergovernmental organization of developing countries 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 ...

The Chinese government provides consistent political support to the G77 and has made financial contributions to the Group since 1994, but it does not consider itself to be a member.

The main aims of the G-77 are to ensure that the developing world's collective interests are safeguarded along with the enhancements of its negotiation capabilities in the wider United Nations system and other international forums.

Its goal is to help developing nations promote their economic interests and to foster cooperation among developing economies in the Global South. The G-77 is guided by a charter that was established and adopted in 1967. The G-77 has offices around the world and meets annually at the UN in New York.
