2017年,古巴启动第九届全国人民政权代表大会选举进程。在飓风和干旱等极端气候、美国封锁政策、委内瑞拉形势恶化等内外不利因素的影响下,古巴经济仍在旅游业的拉动下缓慢趋好。国企改革、非国有经济形式规范化、吸引外国投资等模式“更新”举措继续推进。古巴政府继续重视医疗卫生和教育投入,改善通信服务和客运服务,但物资短缺和收入水平低仍成为社会不稳定因素,人口老龄化问题凸显。与美国的关系趋向紧张,与欧盟的关系平稳推进,与传统友国的关系保持稳固。
<<In 2017,Cuba started the electoral process of the 9th Legislature National Assembly of People’s Power. Despite the consequence of hurricanes,droughts,the United States’ blockade policy,the deteriorating situation in Venezuela and other internal and external factors,the Cuban economy was improving slowly with the distinguished performance of the tourism sector. The Cuban government continued pushing forward the reform of state-owned enterprises,the standardization of non-state economy and the attraction of foreign investments. The government also paid attention to health and education,as well as the improvement of communication services and passenger transportation services. However,the shortage of commodity and low income level still affected social stability,and the problem of population aging remained prominent. The relation with the United States tended to be tense,that with the EU advanced steadily,and the ties with traditional friend countries were well maintained.
