On April 20, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited the Republic of Cuba as part of his trip to Latin America and the Caribbean.
Mr Lavrov was received by President of Cuba Miguel Mario Diaz-Canel Bermudez and leader of the Cuban Revolution Raul Castro. The Russian Foreign Minister held talks with his Cuban colleague Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla.
During the meetings held in the traditional atmosphere of friendship and trust, the officials conducted an extensive exchange of views on political, trade, economic, financial, investment, cultural and humanitarian cooperation. They discussed in detail the modalities for enhancing the close coordination of both countries' positions in the international arena and reaffirmed their intention to continue promoting their bilateral strategic partnership in every way.
The officials highlighted their invariable approach to the use of unilateral restrictions in circumvention of the UN Charter, which they consider completely unacceptable. They are striving to move together towards the creation of a multi-polar world order based on genuine equality of states and respect for mutual interests, principles and standards of international law.
Mr Lavrov reaffirmed Russia's support of Havana in its fair demand for a full and immediate lifting of the US embargo.
