During the BRICS Foreign Ministers\u2019 Meeting, held in India, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodr\u00edguez stated this Friday, May 15, that despite the US blockade, sanctions, and threats of the use of force, the island \u201ccontinues to build its sovereign path toward socialist development and contribute, from its modest means, to the development of other peoples of the Global South.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the forum on Reforms of Global Governance and the Multilateral System, the Foreign Minister also addressed the recent announcement by the United States regarding an offer of $100 million in humanitarian aid. Bruno Rodr\u00edguez noted that, to date, no official contact has been established, nor have details been specified regarding the intended use of this aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along these same lines, he stated that, although Cuba does not typically reject foreign aid \u201coffered in good faith and with genuine cooperative aims,\u201d \u200b\u200bthe most effective way to alleviate the situation of the Cuban people would be to de-escalate \u201cthe energy, economic, commercial, and financial blockade measures, which have intensified like never before in recent months and severely affect all sectors of the Cuban economy and society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cuban delegation denounced at the opening session on Thursday, May 14th, \u201cthe successive executive orders issued by the United States government that reinforce the economic blockade and the threat of military aggression against Cuba to extreme levels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the energy blockade, imposed on January 29 of this year, secondary sanctions of an extraterritorial nature have been applied against entities in third countries that operate or have operated with Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Cuban foreign minister, these actions aim to enforce the international blockade, violating each government\u2019s right to determine its own trade relations. He called on nations not to be intimidated and to work together in an international coalition that guarantees respect for sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuba emphasized the importance of the BRICS as an alternative to the current economic order, \u201cwhich is now dying with the imposition of peace by force.\u201d The foreign minister advocated for a reform of the international financial system \u201cand the creation of a multilateral mechanism within the framework of the United Nations (UN) for the fair and transparent negotiation of sovereign debt for developing countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cuban proposal emphasizes that cooperation, solidarity, and justice are the only pillars for building a multilateral order that rejects hegemony and global domination. \u201cWe will continue to raise our voices in every international forum to defend the reforms the world needs,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The eighteenth edition of the BRICS group ministerial meeting, which ended this Friday, took place within the framework of the bloc\u2019s twentieth anniversary and was attended by foreign ministers and heads of delegation from member and partner countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
