Cuba is one of Russia’s main allies in Latin America and the Caribbean, and Moscow will provide assistance to Havana in the conditions of US sanctions against the island nation, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov said on Tuesday at the meeting with Vice President of the Cuban Council of Ministers Ricardo Cabrisas.
“Our relations are traditionally friendly, and we consider Cuba as one of our main allies in Latin America and the Caribbean” Borisov said.
He noted the difficult situation in Cuba because of the US sanctions against Havana and pledged Russian help. “We will support you in every way,” he stressed.
Borisov and Cabrisas are co-chairs of the Russian-Cuban inter-governmental commission on trade-economic and scientific-technical cooperation that held a session in Moscow earlier on Tuesday.
The Russian deputy prime minister noted that Moscow actively participates in energy and transport projects that are important for the Cuban economy.
Borisov added that bilateral trade turnover stood at less than $200m but “now we can talk about significant increases in trade turnover.”
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
