Speaking virtually from Havana at the Meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, held in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the head of State highlighted Armenia’s performance as president pro-tempore of the Union’s Organs throughout 2024.
He noted that Cuba grants great importance to strengthening ties with the member States of the Union, within the broad framework of possibilities and mechanisms that it offers.
Specifically, the organization of the 4th Joint Commission between Cuba and the Eurasian Economic Commission, scheduled for the first quarter of 2025 in Moscow, will contribute to strengthening and diversifying economic, commercial, financial and cooperation relations with the countries of the Union, Díaz-Canel pointed out.
He stated that the approval of the Joint Collaboration Plan for the 2025-2030 period will contribute decisively to this purpose.
We are convinced that it is the only effective way to find viable solutions to the serious problems that the world is facing, from a perspective that promotes unity and mutual respect, within diversity and in favor of the development and well-being of peoples and nations, the president added.
He highlighted the Cuban people’s optimism, resistance and creative capacity, as well as the certainty that the next year will be fruitful, despite challenges, to achievement common objectives and goals for sustainable development.
This is the ninth time that the Cuban head of State participates in a session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, an EAEU body made up of the heads of State of the member countries.
Cuba joined the EAEU as an observer State on December 11, 2020.
