ALBA-TCP Calls for Regional Unity Against Imperialist Imposition in a Multipolar World

This Friday, the Sixth International Conference for World Balance concluded in Cuba, an event that brought together 1,233 delegates from 98 countries.

Organized by the Cuban Presidency, its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the José Martí Project for World Solidarity, the conference served as a platform for debating urgent global issues.  

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel closed the event with a speech emphasizing the importance of maintaining such spaces for dialogue despite international pressures.

He addressed topics such as the blockade against Cuba, the sovereignty of the Panama Canal, the genocide in Palestine, and the misuse of social media. Additionally, he criticized the United States’ support for Israel and its backing of the economic blockade against Cuba.  

Jorge Arreaza, executive secretary of ALBA-TCP, highlighted the relevance of these gatherings in consolidating a multipolar world. “Twenty-five years ago, little was said about a multipolar world, but today it is urgent to consolidate it for the sake of humanity,” he stated.

Arreaza also emphasized that ALBA-TCP was a pioneer in uniting countries committed to global well-being.  

European Parliament member Irene Montero condemned the blockade against Cuba as “criminal and illegal,” attributing it to the actions of “the two most aggressive terrorist powers.”

Meanwhile, Rander Peña, Venezuela’s Vice Minister for Latin America, stated that global balance must be based on the unity of nations and warned about the resurgence of fascism.  

Representatives from Slovenia and Argentina also spoke, stressing the need for a new balance in the ecosystem and reaffirming their support for solidarity initiatives such as the World Love Marathon for Cuba. Mario Nájera, from the José Martí Project, called for the urgent organization of the next edition of the conference.  

David Adler, from the Progressive International, highlighted the shift in global economic balance with the rise of multipolar institutions and the growing independence of countries in the Global South.

Finally, the representative from the United States pledged to support Venezuela’s sovereignty and oppose sanctions and military threats.  

The event concluded with a call to respect the sovereignty of states and to end illegal blockades, reaffirming the participants’ commitment to a more just and equitable world.
