Sun voiced support for the statement delivered by Uruguay on behalf of the Group of 77 and China, and said Southern countries must pursue independence and mutual benefit while tapping cooperation in capacity building and knowledge sharing.
China Calls for Deeper South-South Cooperation at UN Commemoration
AI take
The framing here matters more than the venue: China is positioning South-South cooperation as a vehicle for "independence," language that implicitly distances Southern blocs from Northern-led development and finance architectures. Endorsing Uruguay's G77 statement signals a push to consolidate the group's voice rather than fragment it. The practical test is whether capacity building and knowledge sharing translate into concrete instruments, or remain declaratory. Whether this rhetoric hardens into institutional coordination is the open question.
