The US blockade is the main obstacle to the economic and social development of our country. It has been stepped up amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, hindering the acquisition of vital drugs, medical equipment and inputs under these circumstances, depriving our people of its most basic right: the right to life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unprecedented challenges like these require urgent concrete, solidary, inclusive, fair, innovative and coordinated responses. Global problems demand global solutions, in a nondiscriminatory manner, with no political, economic exclusions or of any other sort. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We support initiatives to the debt relief, albeit they are still insufficient. The unpayable foreign debt that burdens countries of the South should be eliminated, as it has now been worsened by the pandemic social and economic impacts and threatens the sustainable development of nations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commitments on official development assistance, increased foreign financing on a fair basis, market access and technology transfer, must be fulfilled. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The peoples of the world require effective and immediate solutions. It is high time to act. It\u2019s time for deeds, not words!.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p
