The Parties had a detailed discussion on the parameters for strengthening close coordination between Russia and Cuba in the global arena and on regional platforms. They confirmed mutual willingness to fully strengthen the Russian-Cuban strategic partnership.

☝️ The Russian Side reaffirmed its unwavering support for Havana in its just demand for the complete and immediate lifting of the US embargo and the removal of the country from the US State Department's list of states sponsors of terrorism.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez (Havana, February 19, 2024)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I would like to begin by thanking you for your traditional hospitality, as is customary between our countries. <...>
In September 2023, you and I met in New York on the sidelines of the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly. As always, we had a trust-based exchange concerning the unprecedented processes unfolding in the international arena, when the realities of the multi-polar world, objectively shaped and reflecting the unstoppable course of history, are not just being tested, but are eliciting an aggressive response from the US and other Global Minority countries. These countries are using every available avenue to preserve their dominance, hegemony and control. The means used by the American and other Western policymakers to get there include blackmail, ultimatums, threats, heavy-handed military force, and sanctions rather than diplomacy.
Cuba has firsthand experience of the unlawful pressure and total embargo that the US continues to enforce as a supposed legitimate course of action. Although the rest of the international community finds it intolerable, Washington persists in its actions.
We have global tasks at hand, including the mobilisation of the Global Majority to uphold their legitimate rights. We are working on it actively within the Group of Friends in Defence of the UN Charter established in 2021. The interest in this Group is steadily increasing. We will work to safeguard the fundamental principles of the UN Charter against attempts to rewrite international law and replace it with obscure rules.
☝️ The Charter explicitly states that the UN is based on the sovereign equality of states. It is imperative that we hold our Western colleagues accountable, as they have long ago disregarded that principle and continue to go about their affairs the way they did in colonial times.

The Parties will discuss key issues of bilateral cooperation and interaction on the global stage, as well as regional and global developments.
🤝 Venezuela is Russia’s strategic partner and ally. These bilateral relations, based on strong friendship and solidarity, are on the rise and are actively developing in all key areas.
The political dialogue between Russia and Venezuela is very intensive. Last year, President Vladimir Putin and President Nicolás Maduro had two telephone conversations (on May 4 and December 21).

<...>
☝️ Russia will continue to provide all possible assistance to the government and people of Venezuela as regards protecting their national sovereignty and right to choose their own development path, including as a country that helps maintain national dialogue among the political forces in Venezuela.
