In a tweet, the head of Cuban diplomacy called to establish a fair, democratic and equitable international order.

According to its latest report, the IMF estimated a world economic growth of 6.0 percent, while it predicted 4.6 percent for Latin America and 3.4 percent for Sub-Saharan Africa.

‘This divergent recuperation reinforces the people’s inequalities and economic gaps,’ Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez noted.

After a drastic fall in 2020, a mild recuperation at different speeds is expected in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2021, according to the FMI report, published in April and entitled ‘Global Economic Prospects’
