This disposition was expressed during a virtual exchange between the president of the Economic Affairs Commission of the National Assembly of People’s Power, Félix Martínez, and Alexander Babakov, vice president of the State Duma of the Russian Federal Assembly.
Alexander Babakov described Cuba as a model of firmness, resistance and integrity, and expressed his energetic rejection of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States Government against the island.
Martínez said that the Cuban-Russian Intergovernmental Commission for Economic-Commercial and Scientific-Technical Collaboration constitutes the main mechanism for monitoring bilateral projects identified by both parties.
Regarding the significance of this work meeting, he stated that it is about the monitoring and support from the two parliaments to strategic and high priority issues, which cover key sectors of the Economic and Social Development Plan of Cuba, and others of mutual interest.
The agreements that we adopted at last year’s meeting in Havana have had follow-up and attention by the corresponding organizations, and evaluation by the Intergovernmental Commission, he stressed.
Directors of the Financial Market Committee of the State Duma also participated in the meeting on the Russian side, while Teresa González, vice president of the Parliament’s Economic Affairs Commission, and authorities from several ministries were also present on the Cuban side.
