New International Economic Order ends its 50th Congress in Havana
THE 50th anniversary congress on the New International Economic Order in Havana closed on Wednesday with a roadmap for a “global South insurgency to remake the world system.”
The congress — co-convened by the Progressive International and the National Association of Economists and Accountants of Cuba (Anec) — brought together leading scholars, diplomats and policy-makers to Havana from 36 countries, including Brazil, South Africa, China, Colombia, Kenya, Indonesia and Spain.
The three days of discussion aimed to prepare a programme of action to secure peace through sovereign development in the 21st century.
