In the final declaration of the conclave, the attending delegations condemned the tightening of the U.S. blockade in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with an extraterritorial character, and pointed out that it causes serious damage to the well-being of the Cuban people.

One of the main objectives of the meeting is to promote cooperation projects for the benefit of developing nations, including ACS Members.
