Cuba says that the United Nation must urgently lead negotiations to set up a new world financial structure that represents all UN member nations on equal grounds.
Cuban Finance and Prices Minister Georgina Barreiro, said in the Qatari capital Doha that her country supports the holding of a summit in the context of the UN, which represents all member nations and hears all their views, PL news reported.
Barreiro addressed participants at the International Conference on Financing for Development, underway in Doha, to follow up on the implementation of the Monterrey Consensus reached in Mexico in 2002.
The international community “has the responsibility and the historic opportunity to re-establish the international financial system on a truly democratic basis…This reform can and should not be carried out by a select group of rich countries with restrictive and exclusive policies,” Barreiro said.
She added that the current situation demands that the UN defend and promote the peoples’ right to development, and lead the fight against inequity.
Barreiro said that the “realistic and sustainable solutions” put forth at the Monterrey Conference to meet the Millennium Development Goals have continued to be put off. She further noted that Cuba continues to offer the world an alternative of viable development, despite the enormous limitations due to the nearly half-century US economic, commercial and financial blockade.
