This meeting proved the close ties of friendship and cooperation between Havana and Caracas, which was strengthened by the work plans between the PSUV and the PCC, and the youth of both countries.
Maduro emphasized “the brilliant history of articulation” of the Communist Party of Cuba with the progressive forces of Latin America and the Caribbean.
For his part, Morales reaffirmed Cuba’s will to always be on the side of Venezuela and its people, in this and any other circumstances, and transmitted an affectionate greeting on behalf of the leader of the Revolution Raul Castro and the president and general secretary of the PCC, Miguel Diaz-Canel.
“As always you can count on Cuba, its people and the Revolution,” he said, and recalled that for Cubans is very present Jose Marti’s trip to this country in 1881, where he paid tribute to the Liberator and expressed ” Venezuela have to say what can we do for her”.
