Lavrov:Russia Will Continue To Support Cuba.
Today a meeting took place between the Foreign Minister of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez, and his counterpart from Russia, Sergei Lavrov. At the meeting, which took place in the Russian capital, Moscow, Lavrov expressed that Russia will continue to provide its support to Cuba in the defense of the country's sovereignty and security.
Faced with new threats from the US to Cuba, the head of Russian diplomacy has stressed that all issues must be resolved through a dialogue based on mutual respect and aimed at finding a balance of interests. He highlighted: “We know that our Cuban friends are always willing to engage in these honest negotiations.”
He has also expressed: “For our part, we will continue to consistently provide our support to Cuba and the Cuban people in the defense of the country's sovereignty and security.”
At the same time, Lavrov has “categorically rejected the unfounded accusations” against the cooperation of Russia and Cuba, “as if it supposedly created a threat to the interests of the US or any other country.”
Lavrov has also denounced that, after several decades of blockade of Cuba by the US, Washington currently “threatens to toughen its illegitimate and inhuman actions” against the Caribbean country.
“Together with most members of the international community, we urge the US to demonstrate common sense and a responsible approach, and refrain from its plans to impose a naval military blockade on Cuba.”
In conclusion, the Foreign Minister has once again made clear the “total solidarity” of the Government of Russia with the Government of Cuba, adding that he “fully shares the assessments” of Bruno Rodríguez that the ties between both nations are “historical, fraternal, special and strategic.”
