During a recent telephone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Cuban counterpart Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermúdez, both leaders exchanged perspectives on the current state of bilateral cooperation and agreed to increase engagement across multiple channels. The conversation highlighted a shared focus on advancing energy, industrial, and other mutually beneficial projects, with a commitment to keep expanding dialogue at different levels of government and industry.
The Kremlin press service noted that the discussions underscored concrete opportunities for collaboration in energy and related sectors, reflecting a pragmatic approach to strengthening ties that benefit both nations. This cooperative spirit comes as Cuba and Russia explore ways to deepen their economic and strategic partnership amid ongoing international challenges.
In his remarks, Putin offered congratulations to Diaz-Canel on Cuba’s Liberation Day and extended best wishes for the upcoming New Year, reaffirming a sense of goodwill and solidarity between the two countries as they look ahead to continued cooperation and mutual prosperity.
Earlier in November, Diaz-Canel and Putin met to reaffirm that Russia and Cuba oppose unilateral sanctions and any expansion of NATO’s influence toward Russia’s borders, emphasizing a shared stance on national sovereignty, security, and multilateral collaboration in the face of external pressure.
