MADRID, April ‌18 (Reuters) - ​The ​governments of Brazil, Spain and Mexico on ‌Saturday vowed to step ⁠up coordinated aid to Cuba ‌to alleviate what ‌they described as a humanitarian crisis caused by the ​U.S. blockade of the Caribbean island.

In a ⁠joint statement, the three countries called ​for sincere dialogue in line with the U.N. ​Charter, adding that ‌the Cuban people must be free to ⁠determine their own future.

The statement came after Spanish ⁠Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez hosted Brazilian ​President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the leader of ‌Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, in Barcelona for an ‌international summit aimed at ⁠mobilising against ‌the far ​right.
