attempts to reshape the international order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was stated by Rodr\u00edguez at the Fourth Ministerial Meeting of the China-CELAC Forum (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He rejected the United States&#8217; efforts to reshape the international order through coercion, threats, and the imposition of tariffs and other punitive measures, which have a detrimental impact on global political and economic interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the head of Cuban diplomacy highlighted that the Forum, established following the second CELAC Summit in Havana in 2014, has developed into a valuable platform for enhancing and strengthening cooperation between the two parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, he pointed out that this mechanism has proven its strategic and practical worth in advancing towards shared development goals, highlighting the advantages of creating a community with a united future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this regard, Rodr\u00edguez asserted that at present, the majority of Latin American and Caribbean nations maintain diplomatic ties with China, based on mutual respect and cooperation that yields tangible advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, the U.S. government is actively promoting a trade and tariff conflict on a global scale, particularly against China, and is issuing threats to nations that are legitimately pursuing economic development initiatives with companies from that nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At another point of his speech, the Cuban representative recalled that this year marks the 65th anniversary of Cuba&#8217;s diplomatic ties with China, which have been a beacon of South-South cooperation throughout history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He emphasized Cuba&#8217;s unwavering commitment to the One China principle and its opposition to any efforts to undermine the territorial integrity and sovereignty of this nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also acknowledged the Chinese government&#8217;s endeavors, particularly those related to the Belt and Road, the Global Development, and the China-CELAC Cooperation Plan (2022-2024), which have resulted in significant socioeconomic projects in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodr&iacute;guez Parrilla, emphasized the relevance of collaboration within the China-CELAC Forum in the current global context, which is characterized by the United&hellip;
