Latin America is one of the pillars of the new world Economy, says Russian Foreign 
Minister Sergey Lavrov, stressing that his country cooperates with all Latin American
countries, especially Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, Chile, 
Peru and Venezuela.

The Russian Foreign Minister addressed a Youth Forum in Seliguer.  The Community of
Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) is setting a trend to create a
multi-polar world. "Latin America is No. One in growth, and is actively being
developed, and has a very good future, and already is one of the pillars of 
the New World Economy," he said.

In that sense, Lavrov stressed that the Countries' political and economic organizations,
"are actively developing an integration process".

"There is no country outside of one organization or another, at least one organization
for integration, and we have relationships with each of these partnerships and
with all countries, without exception, in Latin America," said the Russian Foreign minister.

Also Lavrov has proposed both Russia and Latin American countries will be
studied.  From now on, there will be more frequent Official visits, and he recalled
that Russia has already formed commissions on inter-Nation trade and 
cooperation with many of the Latin American countries. 

Referring to the cancellation of 90% of the debt that Cuba had contracted 
with the Soviet Union, the chancellor noted that this move will help increase the
growth of the Cuban economy. "Not everything can be measured with money.
We waited a long time to forgive much of the Cuban debt and, ultimately, decided
to help," said the Minister, noting that the current debt represents about 
3.5 Billion dollars.  It will be invested in the island with the support of 
Russian companies. 

Russian Foreign Minister recalled the historical tour of Latin America a month
after President Vladimir Putin, during which he toured countries such as Cuba, 
Argentina and Brazil, participated in the summit of the BRICS and an additional
forum with 12 leaders of South America. The extensive import-export 
program of President Putin outlines areas such as energy, transportation, 
defense, space and heavy machinery, areas of great interest to all 
Countries addressed. 

Meanwhile, Lavrov stressed that the US, European Union and Russia must help
efforts to eliminate global threats. "Our collective on the international stage 
will be to eliminate all these threats and challenges.

We also hope to restrain the intentions of the USA, and the West to retain 
its dominance in the world, a position to which they have become accustomed
over several hundred years.
The US artificially delays and prevents the arrival of a multi-polar and poli-central 
world, reflecting the actual objective conditions of the development world, "he said.
