History
Established by 77 developing countries signatory to the 'Joint Declaration of the Seventy-Seven Countries' issued at the end of the first session of E-XE3381 - UNCTAD, Geneva (Switzerland). Permanent institutional structure developed gradually, commencing with the first Ministerial Meeting of the Group of 77, 10-25 Oct 1967, Algiers (Algeria), which adopted the Charter of Algiers, followed by the creation of Chapters of the Group of 77 with Liaison offices in Geneva (UNCTAD), Nairobi (Kenya) (UNEP), Paris (France) (UNESCO), Rome (Italy) (FAO/IFAD), Vienna (Austria) (UNIDO) and the Group of 24 in Washington DC (USA) (IMF and World Bank). Although membership of G-77 has increased to 134 countries, the original name is retained because of its historic significance.
