Given the inability of the regime to generate wealth, the dome of the Communist Party tries to seduce foreign investors.
Lima, Peru – to “encourage joint cooperation to carry out the development of industrial capacity in Cuba.” That was The call he made This Friday the Prime Minister of the Castro regime, Manuel Marrero, to the members of the Eurasian Economic Union (UEEA).
Havana has insisted in recent years to capture foreign investment, especially from the Eurasian territory, as a resource to relieve the acute crisis existing on the island.
On this occasion, Marrero intervened telematically at the meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council, where he proposed to turn Cuba into “a key logistics center for the UEEA” that distributes products “towards the countries of the Latin America and the Caribbean region.”
According to the leader, the concretion of this idea “would allow the processing, production and subsequent distribution to the countries of the region of products with the highest added value, based on the raw materials of the EUEA countries.”
With a practically paralyzed industrial sector, energy crisis and shortage of all kinds, the Cuban regime highlighted during its speech some spheres with alleged potentialities on the island. Among them Marrero appointed the metallurgical, chemical industry, fertilizers, food production, transport, energy, energy, health and biotechnology.
With the aim of reaching future agreements, the creation of a bilateral logistics committee between the Cuba Chamber of Commerce and the EUEA Business Council was then planned. In addition, the Cuban prime minister announced the celebration of the Fourth Joint Commission between the Eurasian Economic Commission and Cuba, next to 2025.
“It is now imposed on its implementation and operation,” Marrero asked.
Given the inability of the Cuban dictatorship to generate wealth and prosperity for more than 60 years, the dome of the Communist Party tries to seduce investors to inject capital into the island.
The last 2022, the regime had already proposed to the EUEA the loan of a 50 hectare land to install an industrial park in which companies in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia would carry out its production.
More recently, at the end of July, Cuba announced the execution of Cayo Digital, a new project with Russia that lies in the creation of a ‘cluster’ (grouping) of companies in the Brics Plus countries, as well as the Eurasian Economic Union, mainly oriented to provide products and services to customers in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Cayo Digital is planned as a technological ‘hub’ with the ability to host up to 15,000 residents: 12,000 specialists and 3,000 students, says the official report.
“Its execution implies construction or rehabilitation of infrastructure works necessary for the life and work of its inhabitants: offices, laboratories, industrial plants, residences, stores, a mall, sports, cultural and recreation facilities, ”says the note.
Also, the “Cuban Valley Sillicon” would have university nursery, schools and subsidiaries. To that end, the project authors highlighted the importance of “ensuring good quality communication and services communication routes such as gas, water, electricity, sewerage and garbage collection”.
Because of its design, Cayo Digital would mean in the current context of the island as a kind of dystopian and anachronistic utopia, since Cubans lack more than ever of the services that the project considers “vital”. Electric blackouts exceed several regions of the country at 20 hours a day, thousands of families do not have access to water stable, the health system falls apart and The lack of fuel exacerbates the existing transport crisis.
