Dr. Scott was accorded a guard of honour mounted by the defence personnel of the Bolivian army.
The Vice President was also given a key to the city of Santa Cruz by the officials from the local administration of the Department of Santa Cruz.
Bangladesh President was the first to arrive followed by Swaziland Prime Minister followed by the Vice President, Dr. Scott.
A total of 27 Presidents, three Vice Presidents and four Prime Ministers are expected to attend the G77 + China Summit that brings together 133 developing and emerging countries from Latin America, Africa and Asia and over 100 high-level delegates.
Bolivian President Evo Morales who toured Exhibition Fair Fexop Cruz, the venue for the summit in the company of his Information Minister Amanda Davila has declared his country ready to host the upcoming group of 77 developing countries plus China ( G77 + China ) that opens tomorrow.
The Summit will be held under the theme “For a New World Order For Living Well”.
Speaking shortly after a conducted final tour of the exhibition fair at Fexopo Cruz, President Morales said his country is ready to host the event.
President of the General Assembly of the UN, John W. Ashe and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon are among the expected speakers at the Summit.
The Group of 77 was established on June 15 1964 during a United Nations Conference on Trade and Development held in Geneva, Switzerland.
From the on-set, the conference that started with a group of 75 developing countries pledged to promote equality in the international economic and social order and promote the interests of the developing world.
The 2013, G77 + China Summit was held in Fiji, which is an island country in Melanesia in the South Pacific.
I hope he stays there indefinitely!!
Zambia never had chance to use Guy Scott, just because Sata was running every single show including going after Richard Sakala (a Citizen). Now that we force Sata to concentrate on his healing process, we have chance to utilize Guy Scott. The man can bring sanity to Zambia, nichi fye…
First, Mr. Scott please be careful with the high attitudes of Bolivia. Since you have love for a Whiskey, this time around please avoid the Whiskey whilest in Bolivia the high altitude won’t support you and also considering your age.
Secondly, thanks very much for wasting yet again our hard earned tax payers money for attending this unfruitful meeting. Bolivia can’t even feed itself let alone Zambia. Some of these meetings, send a PS or even a DC atleast we can afford a ticket for one to this useless meeting.
China keeps on observing.
YOUR REASONING IS BY FAR TOO POOR. SO, TO YOU ANY POOR COUNTRY SHOULDN’T BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOLD A SUMMIT? YOU ARE VERY F00LISH.
Humid and sweaty. I wish Sata himself had travelled.
Mr. Guy Scott is indeed the de facto president of the progressive Republic of Zambia. The man under self-imposed house arrest, at State House, may have foreseen times such as these, when he would need a vice-president of Mr. Scott’s caliber, to run the affairs of the country.
THE PICTURE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE BOLIVIA, THOUGH. WITH A BUILDING LOOKING LIKE ICITELE CHA NKUMBA. I KNOW BOLIVIA ISN’T A RICH COUNTRY BUT I DOUBT IF THIS IS BOLIVIA IN PICTURE.
