During a video conference address to the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council, held in Moscow, Marrero also thanked the EAEU governments for supporting the recent resolution demanding an end to the US Government’s economic blockade against the island.

His address was published in Granma newspaper and was reviewed this Friday by other local publications, which highlighted the Union’s opposition to Cuba’s inclusion in Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list.

Marrero stated that Cuba maintains its development strategy, based on the principles of equity, social justice, and environmental sustainability, despite the hostility of the US administration led by President Donald Trump.

He noted that the country is working to revitalize the economy, “highlighting actions aimed at increasing business and foreign investment in key sectors, for which we recently announced a Plan of Measures to encourage investors.”

He also mentioned “specific action lines for the development of intensified cooperation within the framework of the Union,” which were “identified” during the meeting between the Eurasian Economic Commission (EUEC) and the Cuban government at the recent Havana International Fair (FIHAV).

The prime minister highlighted the practical implementation of the logistics hub in Cuba as a bridge to Latin America and the Caribbean, a health tourism sphere, food and energy security, and business cooperation.

Marrero affirmed in his address that the “history of friendship and cooperation with Eurasian nations is the strongest foundation for building this strategic partnership and implementing integration as a tool for the development of our countries.”
