HAVANA, Dec 29 (NNN-ACN) — The presidents of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, and Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, held a telephone conversation in which they stated their satisfaction at the excellent state of bilateral relations.
The Cuban leader reasserted to his counterpart Cuba’s profound gratitude to the Mexican people and government for their generous assistance in solidarity with the island.
In August, when Cuba suffered its worst industrial accident ever, Mexico offered immediate support by sending military, technicians and specialized personnel, as well as material resources, to help put out the fire that broke in the province of Matanzas, “a gesture that our country will never forget”, Díaz-Canel stressed.
Also in 2022, López Obrador condemned the exclusion of Cuba and other countries from the Summit of the Americas in June, whereas Mexican solidarity associations provided assistance when Hurricane Ian hit and caused great damage in western Cuba.
Separately, Diaz-Canel and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin ratified on Wednesday their willingness to further deepen political dialog and economic, commercial, financial and cooperation relations.
Putin and Diaz-Canel held a phone conversation, which was described as fraternal by the Cuban head of state.
They looked at the excellent results of the recent official visit to Moscow by the Cuban leader last November as part of an international tour which also included Algeria, Türkiye and China.
On that occasion the Cuban head of state stressed that “Russia can always count on Cuba.” He said that Cuba will make its best so that bilateral links keep strengthening. — NNN-ACN
