“All our support to the countries of the Caribbean in their demand for fair and differentiated treatment, necessary to meet the challenges posed by climate change, natural disasters, the unfair international financial system and the new and difficult conditions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The determined and supportive response of ALBA countries after the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano, in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, with the dispatch of aid and medical personnel, underlined the strength of the Alliance and the values it inspires.
The pandemic has demonstrated the fragility of underdeveloped economies. How can we make it clear to people that extraordinary advances in science and the global scientific community’s preparedness for COVID-19 cannot guarantee access to essential medicines for the vast majority of people?
The chancellor questioned the obstacles imposed by dozens of countries on the export of medical supplies and the way the United States has reinforced its sanctions.
He highlighted the multidimensional crisis we are facing and the lack of political will to reverse selfish decisions that prioritize wealth for a few over human lives.
