Solidarity with Cuba in Belarus highly praised

Solidarity with Cuba is intense in Belarus, said Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Ceyz, at a meeting with activists of the Belarusian Society of Friendship with the Caribbean nation, BelTA news agency reported.

“We very much appreciate the solidarity shown to us in different countries of the world. And in Belarus this solidarity is felt with special intensity. I am grateful that so many people have come to attend this meeting. I am especially touched to see young Belarusians here,” the Cuban leader noted.

Geographically speaking, we are far from each other, but our hearts are close, Marrero told attendees at the solidarity event.

Marrero also stressed that during a meeting with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, both agreed that political relations between the two countries are at the highest level. “We have no contradictions, we always support each other,” he added.

“However, we are not satisfied that our economic ties do not reach the same level, although Belarus and Cuba have a huge potential to increase that interaction,” Marrero stated.

During the day, in addition to the meeting with President Lukashenko, Marrero also met with his Belarusian counterpart, Roman Golovchenko.

Up0n his arrival at Minsk Marrero Cruz declared that Cuba will continue to support Belarus at all international forums.

Marrero, who is on an official visit to the Slavic nation, recalled that Cuba is in a very difficult situation due to the US blockade, and added that all the joint intergovernmental and business projects will contribute to improving the quality of life of the people.

Likewise, he thanked the authorities and people of Belarus for their sympathy and brotherhood as well as their position in international forums condemning the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed on Cuba.
