NEW YORK/BEIJING -- Leftist governments in Latin America are strengthening ties with China, as the Group of 77 nations plus China on Saturday adopted a joint statement listing complaints and demands for developed countries at a summit held in Cuba.

"We note with deep concern that the major challenges generated by the current unfair international economic order for developing countries have reached their most acute expression in current times," said the G77+China statement released by Cuba's Foreign Ministry.
