A serious geopolitical struggle of Russia and the USA for the Island of Freedom began - the state of Cuba. After the US Department of State announced that Washington was ready to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba and even lift the trade and economic embargo, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin went to visit the Castro brothers. At a meeting with the Chairman of the State Council and the Council of Ministers of Cuba, Raul Castro, Dmitry Rogozin discussed the expansion of economic cooperation in various sectors.
Dmitry Rogozin:
Acquaintance and beginning of negotiations with Cuban President Raul Castro. They spoke well. Long. More than one and a half hours.
The Cuban press, which, frankly, without much enthusiasm met the recent statements by representatives of Washington, writes about the visit of the representative of the Russian authorities (quotes from RIA News):
During the fraternal meeting, they talked about the excellent state of bilateral relations, the need to strengthen them, in particular, in the economic and commercial sphere.
How great these relations are is a big question, but one thing is for sure - there are no obstacles for a full-fledged re-establishment of contacts that were reduced to zero in the first post-Soviet years between Russia and Cuba. And if it was Dmitry Rogozin who arrived in Havana, then there is a reason to say that the matter will not be limited to negotiations on an exclusive economy.
