Speeches about Cuba’s economic and social reforms – by President Miguel Díaz-Canel

Read President Miguel Díaz-Canel speeches about Cuba’s economic and social reforms, to better know and understand the measures being adopted.

Last week, a set of important reforms to Cuba’s economic and social fabric were presented, debated and approved by the Communist Party of Cuba’s Central Committee and by the National Assembly of People’s Power, Cuba’s parliament, both in extraordinary sessions. All in all, it concerns a package of broad-ranging economic and social transformations, with 176 reforms across 23 sectors.

No Cold War is of the opinion that to know and understand the measures adopted, and the multiple reasons and motivations behind them, it is important to read the extensive closing speeches delivered at both extraordinary sessions by Miguel Díaz-Canel, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic of Cuba.

They make clear that the objective of the operation is “to change what needs to be changed” in an increasingly complex and challenging international situation, in order to concretely improve people’s lives, while safeguarding and strengthening Cuba’s socialist construction.
