MADRID, Spain.- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel received this Wednesday a delegation of Russian businessmen, headed by Titov Boris Yurievich, advisor to the Russian Presidency for entrepreneurs’ rights, and president of the Cuba-Russia Business Council.

“Today we received an important delegation of Russian businessmen at the Palace of the Revolution, to follow up on the agreements of our last visit to that sister country,” Díaz-Canel said through Twitter.

As he pointed out: “We are advancing very quickly in specifying everything that we discussed with President Putin.”

As quoted by the official media Granma, This visit “demonstrates that there is a willingness on the part of the governments of both countries to take the important political dialogue and, above all, relations in the economic and commercial field to a higher moment.”

For his part, Titov Boris Yurievich, noted: “Certainly, although our relations have always been efficient, effective, and very close, it seems to me that we have reached a new stage of that relationship.”

In the same way, he stated that “a strong exchange work has begun at the level of the (Cuban-Russian) intergovernmental commission, at the level of the different ministries, organizations, and also of all the business community of our country; all this at the direction of President Putin, and the main objective is to develop, from every point of view, bilateral relations”.

At the end of 2022, Díaz-Canel had a telephone exchange with Vladimir Putin, whom he described as “fraternal”, about the results of his last visit to Russia.

Havana and Russia have a long history of economic and military collaboration since the late dictator Fidel Castro’s revolution in 1959.

Throughout the invasion of Ukraine, the Cuban regime has stood by the side of Russia, despite worldwide condemnations of Putin for abuses and war crimes; and it has been one of the few governments that has refused to condemn the aggression, which has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

In this sense, the ruler Díaz-Canel seems more aware of ensure survival of his regime with the crumbs from Moscow and with the necessary inflow of foreign currency that Havana obtains at the expense of tourists from that country.
