In his statements, he ratified the will to spare no effort in the fight against the effects of climate change and to support the region's countries in this and any other issue that may be needed.

"Current and future generations require to be properly educated about these realities. Without effective education and culture, we will not succeed in the challenge of overcoming climate change," he stated.

Marrero Cruz highlighted the bilateral exchanges with prime ministers of the region, such as Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, and Grenada, which contributed to strengthening relations and the eternal bonds of friendship that unite the largest Antillean island with the rest of the Caribbean as well as cooperation agreements in health and education.
