A recent announcement by Russian Deputy Prime Minister and Co-Chair of the Joint Intergovernmental Commission, Dmitry Chernyshenko, indicates that Russia and Cuba will work together to develop a cancer vaccine.

This innovation will be possible thanks to the scientific exchanges between the two countries that have been underway since last year.

In this regard, it was revealed that in 2025, “Russia supplied Cuba with 600 substances for the production of pharmaceuticals.” As a further step in this exchange, a memorandum of understanding was signed for the “joint development of an oncovaccine.”

Regarding the cancer vaccine, last May the director of the Cuban Institute of Oncology and Radiology, Luis Eduardo Martín, indicated that the two countries are conducting scientific exchanges with the N. P. Napalkov Clinical Scientific and Practical Center, based in St. Petersburg, Russia, including the development of cancer medications.

Currently, trials are being conducted on Cuban patients with a biosimilar of the monoclonal antibody Pembrolizumab, showing good results in the localization of melanomas and lymphomas.

The United States and El Salvador signed an important Reciprocal Trade Agreement that will allow the two countries to focus on key aspects of their economic relations, such as exports, tariffs, and security, among others.

The objective is to consolidate the bilateral economic relationship by focusing on the discussion of “non-tariff barriers, including simplifying regulatory requirements and authorizations for U.S. exports, such as the acceptance of vehicles and auto parts manufactured according to U.S. motor vehicle safety and emissions standards, and the acceptance of FDA certifications and prior marketing authorizations for medical devices and pharmaceuticals.”

The Central American nation also anticipates the elimination of non-tariff barriers to “U.S. agricultural products in its market,” ensuring that U.S. agricultural exporters are not restricted by the mere use of certain terms related to cheese and meat.

For its part, the U.S. will eliminate reciprocal tariffs on certain Salvadoran exports, such as products not grown or extracted in the U.S., and textiles and apparel originating from the previous trade agreement, CAFTA-DR.

An international investment exceeding $40 million is the starting point for the recovery and modernization of Venezuelan paperboard plants, according to announcements by government officials.

This project is being developed jointly by “the Executive Vice Presidency of the Republic, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Labor, and the International Center for Productive Investment (CIIP).”

This investment will allow for the modernization of equipment in Venezuelan paperboard factories, as well as “the incorporation of new technologies, with the aim of guaranteeing job stability and strengthening national production,” states the Ministry of Industry website.

Venezuela seeks to cover domestic demand for paperboard packaging in key sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods, significantly reducing its dependence on imports.

The project is expected to generate hundreds of new direct and indirect jobs, “contribute to the dynamism of the national industry, and open the possibility of exporting surpluses in the medium term, thus making the paperboard sector a strategic link in the country’s production chain.”

The United States and the European Union signed a trade agreement on a unified 14 % tariff to be applied to most sectors, including automotive, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals.

“According to the EU, this unified tariff provides greater clarity and stability for companies on both sides of the Atlantic.” In addition, “zero-zero” tariffs were established on “strategic items such as aircraft parts, certain chemical products, semiconductor equipment, and specific agricultural products.”

The comprehensive trade agreement covers at least 44 % of global Gross Domestic Product and impacts 800 million people.

From Washington, however, they clarified that taxes on steel, aluminum, and copper will remain unchanged. That is, the EU “will continue to pay a 50 % rate, and the parties will discuss the security of the supply chains for these products.”

EU President Ursula von der Leyen noted that the agreement allows for forecasting in a turbulent context so that companies in the region can plan and invest. “We are guaranteeing immediate tariff relief. This will have a clear impact on our companies’ results. And with this agreement, we are ensuring access to our largest export market,” she emphasized.

The use of current systems such as data technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has reached the food, medical and pharmaceutical packaging sector, with the digitization of the financial management processes of the specialized company ULMA Packaging.

ULMA Packaging announced this Tuesday an agreement with technology company IBM to use its solutions, through its partner LKS Next, as IBM reported in a statement. The use of this technology allows the packer to put data at the center of its decisions, which includes the possibility of making forecasts and scenario simulations to make evidence-based business decisions.

ULMA Packaging, with 60 years of history, has numerous production plants around the world and to establish personalized and detailed budgets for each one, taking into account the situation of each market at all times, very precise and timely data are needed.

To support these needs, LKS Financial Solutions & Corporate, LKS Next’s financial solutions business, has carried out a digitization project based on the IBM Cognos platform.

The objective has been to use data technology to organize information and be able to easily share it with employees who need it, even allowing forecasting and scenario simulations to be ahead of events.
