Cuba is currently presiding over the largest negotiating bloc of nations at the UN, the G77 China. This weekend, high-level delegations from nearly all 134 member-states—including more than 30 heads of state and government—met in Havana to discuss science, technology and innovation challenges before next week’s UN General Assembly in New York.
