Vice President of Cuba Salvador Valdés Mesa thanked Minsk for its support of Cuba during his meeting with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko in Astana on 29 May, BelTA has learned.
“We would like to thank you for your statements made to the American journalist regarding the situation around our country [referring to Aleksandr Lukashenko’s interview with RT journalist Rick Sanchez]. We thank you for your readiness to support our country in such a difficult situation,” Salvador Valdés Mesa said.
Speaking about the challenging situation Cuba is currently going through, the vice president noted that President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez was unable to personally attend the Eurasian Economic Forum and the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council. “The situation is truly difficult. We are going through an economic war, there is an energy blockade,” Salvador Valdés Mesa emphasized.
Earlier, in an interview with RT journalist Rick Sanchez, Aleksandr Lukashenko expressed the view that the United States should build normal relations with the countries located in the Western Hemisphere. “There is no need to kick Cuba. In Cuba, in Mexico (I know this well), in Nicaragua, in Venezuela, the majority of people understand what the United States of America is and that normal relations with Americans must be built. So go ahead and build those relations,” he stressed.
