(MENAFN) Cuba and the European Union (EU) have held the first bilateral dialogue on sustainable development amid Washington's threats of a law permitting U.S. citizens to sue foreign companies that operate in properties nationalized in the island after 1959.
Both sides have summarized the progress made by Havana and Brussels on the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda which intends to end poverty in all forms and increase healthcare coverage, education and water access.
Director of Multilateral Affairs at Cuba's Foreign Ministry said: "During the talks we ratified that modifying the actual patterns of production and consumption are essential to achieving the goals proposed by the 2030 Agenda."
He also said that the dialogue aims to boost joint social projects to benefit future generations.
