A final declaration of the recent Forum of the Political Parties of the Brics and associates condemned the application of the US blockade of Cuba, rejecting the use of illegal unilateral coercive measures that ignore the UN Charter.
According to a press release, the event, called For the Freedom of Nations, was held from June 17 to 19, in Vladivostok, Russia, where they also joined the demand for the elimination of Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
At the initiative of the United Russia party, this meeting was held with the participation of 22 political parties of governments of the member and associate countries of the Brics mechanism, including the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC).
The demand for the exclusion of Cuba from the arbitrary list was also made clear at the session of the Standing Committee, held in this Russian city, in the context of the inter-party space.
During these sessions, the Communist Party of Cuba, represented by the head of the Department of International Relations, Emilio Lozada García, conveyed the importance Cuba attaches to the Brics, as an alternative for the construction of a fairer and more inclusive world order.
At the same time, Lozada García condemned the application of unilateral coercive measures as tools of political and economic pressure by the United States, including the unjust blockade of Cuba and its inclusion in the aforementioned terrorist list.
The presence of the island has been important as it aspires to become an associate state of the Brics, a group composed today of ten countries including its founding members: Brazil, Russia, India and China, together with South Africa, Iran, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Ethiopia.
