UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also spoke to the vast audience that included 30 heads of government and representatives of more than 100 nations.
Ban said the destiny of billions of poor people and the state of the planet depended on their work.
Dignitaries at the event include the presidents of Venezuela, Ecuador, Cuba and host nation Bolivia.
China, which is not a G77 member, participated in the two-day summit, partly in a nod to its expanding trade ties in Latin America. Beijing was represented by Chen Zhu, a vice-chairman of the National People's Congress.
Leaders at the summit were pressing a "fight for fair and sustainable economic growth, and for a new world economic order", Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said.
