We, the Heads of State and Government of the member countries of the Group of 77 and China, meeting in Havana, Cuba, on September 15 and 16, 2023, for the Group’s Summit on Current Development Challenges: The Role of Science, Technology and Innovation, convinced of the urgent need to act together, reaffirm our full adherence to the spirit, principles and objectives of the Group of 77 and China.
We also reaffirm the commitment to strengthen the unity and solidarity of the Group in order to achieve its objectives and to reinforce its role in the current international context. We reaffirm full respect for the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law.
We deeply mourn the loss of life and materials caused by the recent natural disasters in Libya and Morocco. We convey our heartfelt condolences to the respective peoples and governments, and to the loved ones of the victims in both nations.
We note with deep concern that the major challenges generated by the current unfair international economic order for developing countries have reached their most acute expression in current times due, inter alia, to the persistent negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, even though the Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) for COVID-19 has been lifted by the WHO, geopolitical tensions, unilateral coercive measures, and the current multiple crises, including the economic and financial crises, fragile global economic outlook, increased pressure on food, energy, displacement of people, markets volatility, inflation, monetary tightening, the growing burden of external debt, the increase in extreme poverty, the rising inequalities within and among countries, and the adverse effects of climate change, biodiversity loss, desertification, sand and dust storms and environmental degradation, as well as the digital divides, with no clear roadmap so far to address these global problems.

Aseguró ante de cientos de miles de personas congregadas en este céntrico lugar que desde Cuba se dará un hecho “importante para la historia de Colombia”.

“Voy a firmar un papel que puede significar el comienzo sin retroceso de una era de paz para este país”, precisó el jefe de Estado.

“Va a ser difícil, todos los sabemos. Más difícil que hacer la guerra es hacer la paz”, subrayó Petro al tiempo que invitó a los colombianos a la “movilización popular alrededor de la paz, a recibir a quienes dejan de hacer la violencia.

“Quiero que construyamos el camino que se merece Colombia con ustedes, con el pueblo movilizado, no habrá cobardía en nuestros corazones”, enfatizó.

Señaló que temas como cese al fuego, participación de la sociedad en el proceso de construcción de paz, acciones y dinámicas humanitarias, hacen parte de la Mesa de Diálogos que adelanta “positivamente su trabajo”.

“Llegó el momento de gobernar y, por tanto, son millones, torrentes populares, multitudes, las que necesitamos hoy en Colombia; que el pueblo hable, que el pueblo se exprese”, señaló en el contexto de una multitudinaria marcha en apoyo a su gobierno.

El pasado 2 de mayo, con la plena disposición para lograr el cese del fuego y la participación de la sociedad, inició en Cuba el tercer ciclo de conversaciones entre el Gobierno de Colombia y el ELN.

La senadora María José Pizarro, de la delegación del gobierno afirmó ese día que la mesa de diálogo debe salir de Cuba hacia Colombia, “para construir con las gentes de nuestra tierra la paz posible, la que hemos soñado por décadas”

President Miguel Diaz-Canel has paid a heartfelt tribute to the Soviet soldiers who fell in the Great Patriotic War. At around 11 am local time on Monday, the head of state arrived at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, located in front of the Kremlin wall.

Hours earlier, he held a meeting with Guennadi Andrèyevich Ziugànov, general secretary of the Russian Communist Party, in the context of his official visit to this country.

“This is an opportunity to express the gratitude of the Communist Party of Cuba for the support to the Cuban cause,” said the Cuban dignitary.

Diaz-Canel conveyed a message: “Your brother Raul sends you a strong greeting.”

The president took the opportunity to invite the Russian communist leader to the event on the balance of the world based on the conception of the Cuban National Hero, José Martí, and the historic leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, to be held in Havana in January 2023.

For his part, Andreyevich expressed his joy at being able to receive and exchange ideas with the Cuban partisan leader.

“We have visited many countries in the Latin American region and have excellent working relations, but the Russian Communist Party has a special identification and commitment with Cuba,” he said.

The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba began his activities in Moscow on Sunday with a meeting with the embassy staff and a representation of all the official entities of the Cuban State working in Russia.

Miguel Díaz-Canel arrived Saturday at the Vnukovo airport in the capital of the Russian Federation on an official visit in response to an invitation from his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

The official Cuban delegation on this second stop of the tour is made up of Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla; Deputy Prime Ministers Ricardo Cabrisas Ruiz and Alejandro Gil Fernández, as well as the Ministers of Foreign Trade and Investment, Rodrigo Malmierca Díaz, and of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy.
