Marrero's EAEU message Cuba ties and U.S. pressure

Oct 2

Bektenov introduces Cuban Ambassador Enrique Orta González, who conveys Manuel Marrero Cruz's greetings and reads the Cuban prime minister's message. It urges stronger observer cooperation and implementation of the 2026–2030 EEC–Cuba plan, which it says was signed in August in Astana. It describes biotechnology cooperation, two products receiving EAEU-standard marketing authorization and tractor assembly with MTZ in Cuba, with possible maintenance expansion. It invites Eurasian investment and describes economic and social reforms, longer surface rights, real-estate access, private and cooperative partnerships, and simpler business approvals. The message condemns Trump's energy restrictions as a naval blockade and an act of war, warns of secondary sanctions and seeks support for an October 28 UN resolution. It reiterates an invitation to FIHAV 2026, described as a hybrid November 24–26 trade fair with virtual offers. These are the message's claims and invitations; the plan's stated signing chronology, reform details, legal characterizations and future events are not independently established by this recording.

Marrero's message condemns Trump's executive-order energy restrictions as an effective naval blockade and an act of war, warns of secondary sanctions and seeks partner support for an October 28 UN resolution ending the blockade. These are Cuba's legal and political characterizations and an appeal for a future vote; the recording establishes no new U.S. order or adopted UN resolution on October 2.
