Cuban President Raul Castro, has called for economic and social changes of depth as a guarantee to preserve the Cuban revolution.
"O rectify or already running out of time to continue along the cliff, we sink, and sink (...) the effort of generations," said Castro in a two-hour speech during the closing session of Cuban National Assembly.
Castro expressed the need for the country and its leaders to rectify the mistakes it. In any case, the Cuban president has clarified that the changes in the Cuban economy does not mean the end of the ideal of the revolution to create an egalitarian society. The changes seek to strengthen socialism, not replace, he highlighted, as enshrined in the Radio Habana Cuba.
In his statement, Castro stated that Cuba hopes to finish thawing in the 2011 foreign suppliers' bank accounts frozen since 2008. "We continue reducing withholding transfers abroad, or what is, the constraints we had to impose in late 2008 in payments from Cuban banks to foreign suppliers, which will be completely abolished next year" he said.
Cuba has achieved "significant progress" in the restructuring of its debts with its major creditors and in the future will not assume debt that is unable to pay, he said. "Again, I thank the trust and understanding of our business and financial partners, who ratified the more determined to honor their commitments on time," he said. Cuba's foreign debt amounted to U.S. $ 17,800 million in 2007, the latest year for which data are available.
