(AGENPARL) – MOSCA mer 22 giugno 2022

The officials discussed bilateral cooperation in
industry, energy, agriculture, finance and other areas. They focused on
implementing joint priority projects and stepping up tourist exchanges.

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Yury Borisov received
the Cuban delegation at the Government House.

“The world is going through a very difficult time; the
entire global system of international relations is being reformatted. The
anti-Russia sanctions introduced by the US and European countries is
already affecting their own economies. Global problems – in food, energy, and
transport – are becoming clearer. In this context, we very much appreciate Cuba’s support that has condemned NATO’s
expansion towards Russia’s
borders. This is an excellent example of true partnership and principled
foreign policy from Havana,”
Yury Borisov said in his welcome remarks.

The parties discussed the implementation process of
joint projects. The Jose Marti Antillana de Acero Iron and Steel Company plant
upgrade project continues (over 85 percent complete). The first stage of the contract to supply locomotives and technical equipment for
locomotive maintenance shops in Cuba
has been completed. Wheat imports from Russia on commercial terms are
being discussed.

“I am confident that your visit to Russia will
encourage the further promotion of large joint investment projects in key
sectors, especially in energy, transport, industry, and agriculture,” Yury Borisov
said in talking with Ricardo Cabrisas.
