How in Cuba react to the official visit of Miguel Diaz-Kanel to Moscow
Official information on the talks of the heads of state is extremely dosed. It was stated in general terms that Vladimir Putin and Miguel Diaz-Kanel discussed the state of and prospects for deepening the strategic partnership between the two countries, and also touched on the topic of international and regional issues.
The Kremlin press service:
The joint statement voiced the readiness of the two countries to protect common interests in the international arena, to advocate the establishment of broad international cooperation based on compliance with international law and the strengthening of the UN.
The leaders of the two countries touched on the subject of sanctions. Cuba has a wealth of experience in this matter, since it has been forced to live for half a century not just under American sanctions, but in fact under a complete economic blockade. In this regard, it is extremely important for Cuba to restore full-scale cooperation with the Russian Federation.
Press office President of the Russian Federation:
It is noted that the Cuban leader spoke critically about the statements of the US President about withdrawing from the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles.
From the material:
During the negotiations, agreements were reached on an economic plan. It is planned that the program of cooperation between the Eurasian Economic Union and Cuba will begin its implementation.
The reaction of the Cuban press to the agreements between the leaders of the two countries draws attention. Thus, in one of Cuba’s largest newspapers, Granma, the official visit of Diaz-Kanel is called a breakthrough of the blockade that Washington is arranging for Cuba. And this is a comment by a Cuban user on an article in "Granma" about the visit of Diaz Kanel to Moscow (eloquently testifies to the attitude of ordinary Cubans to our country) (translated from Spanish):
The Cuban press told about the meeting of the head of Cuba with Gennady Zyuganov. The website of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation contains photos of this meeting, according to which it can be concluded that the contacts were very warm. Not without awards ceremony. At the headquarters of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Chairman of the State Council of Cuba was awarded the commemorative medal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation dedicated to the centenary of the October Revolution.
Cuban media express frank joy at the fact that contacts between Liberty Island and Russia are beginning to deepen, and that Russian business is coming to Cuba to implement major economic projects.
