“We count on Russia’s support, and not just now during this difficult situation. We have always counted on its support, which is why we always express our gratitude for everything it does for us,” the Caribbean diplomat noted.
Orta stated that Cuba is currently going through a difficult time but intends to overcome these challenges.
On Tuesday, July 7, an exhibition commemorating the centenary of Fidel Castro’s birth opened at the State Duma.
At the opening ceremony, the head of the Cuban mission praised the ongoing tribute Russia pays to the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution.
“Fidel Castro was a man of great character, a man of profound dignity. We inherited all of this from the Soviet Union, because relations between Cuba and the Soviet Union were close.
We understood each other; we knew how to defend our independence and our sovereignty. And we continue to support one another. Therefore, this exhibition shows how Russia carries on Fidel’s legacy here,” Orta affirmed.
