At the BRICS summit in South Africa on Thursday, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel expressed that the bloc's New Development Bank (NDB) should serve as the alternative to modern financial institutions that aim "to obtain resources from the countries of the South". 

"The New Development Bank created by BRICS can and should become an alternative to modern financial institutions that have been using outdated recipes for about a century to obtain resources from the countries of the South," he said. 

On Monday, the host nation announced that it secured a substantial injection of funds totaling $5.27 billion from the NDB established by BRICS member countries.

This financial infusion is designated for pivotal projects in road construction, water supply, and energy infrastructure.
