Havana, Jun 16 (AIN) The results of the 2nd South Summit of the 77 Group and China, were considered successful and supporting the unity of the Third World.  

Maria Caridad Balaguer, member of the Cuban delegation at the meeting, stated that the encounter reaffirmed the continuity of the Final Declaration and the Program of Action adopted by the G-77 in its 1st Summit in April 2000 in Havana.  

The Cuban official, in an interview for the Cuban Television, said that the forum has been very well attended, including about 30 Heads of State and Governments. 

Balaguer explained that this organization of 132 nations and China declared itself in favor of multilateralism in the new international situation, where a unipolar superpower (United States) is trying to impose its designs on the world.   

"We ratify the importance, also, of placing a greater emphasis on the development of the process of reformation of the UN Organization," the Cuban representative remarked. She also added that a message had been sent to the next ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO), also scheduled in Qatar's capital, to boost the development and interests of the South in those multilateral trade negotiations.  

"As an important element for Cuba, the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the US government against Cuba was categorically condemned," the specialist affirmed. 

The 2nd South Summit closed Thursday with the approval of the two main documents of the meeting: the Political Declaration and the Plan of Action.
