The Aliyev administration will deposit one million dollars for the creation of this account, which it proposes, confirmed Valdes Mesa in an interview with the special envoys of both media.

He explained that although it was not a major topic of discussion at the Baku meeting, many statements were heard about bringing peace to the world, putting an end to conflicts, coercive measures and sanctions. “We were very happy because in today’s speeches the demand to lift the sanctions imposed on Cuba, that long blockade by the United States, which is an old, outdated measure, appeared,” he said.
