Unprecedented
For his part, Yakushev explained that the agreement had been “carefully” prepared and that it was a text that “has no precedent in the practice of United Russia.”
“I hope that all the initiatives described in it are implemented, for the benefit of our countries and people,” he stated.
The Russian politician reiterated Moscow’s support for Havana in the face of “the criminal US blockade” and added that Russia and Cuba “fight jointly against the imperialist measures of the United States and its Western satellites.”
Likewise, he thanked the island for “publicly criticizing NATO’s expansion towards Russia’s borders and for supporting Moscow’s legitimate demands for security guarantees” and promised that his country would continue “to provide the support and help that Cuba needs, especially after the effects of the devastating Hurricane Melissa.”
Morales heads a Cuban partisan delegation visiting Moscow. During his stay he also exchanged with the president of the United Russia Party and vice president of the Security Council of that nation, Dmitri Medvedev, and other politicians.
Cuba and Russia have promoted their bilateral relationship in recent years to try to recover the close cooperation they maintained until the disappearance of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Havana is essentially seeking economic support from Moscow to face its worst crisis in decades, with shortages of basic goods, prolonged daily blackouts and an inflationary spiral that has drastically reduced the purchasing power of its citizens.
Russia, for its part, sees Cuba as one of its most faithful political allies in the international arena, without forgetting its geostrategic significance.
