Always united
President Maduro also confirmed that amid the attacks, the economic blockade, and international pressure, Cuba and Venezuela always remain united, in resistance to these actions, and willing to deepen the rebirth of their respective revolutionary processes.

Regarding the cooperation models implemented by Caracas and Havana, Maduro stated that they constitute an example of what the people can achieve by working in a fraternal manner to achieve improvements and recovery in the midst of adversity.

“We have reviewed not only the bilateral agenda, but also the Latin American, Caribbean and regional agenda,” President Maduro said.

Similarly, the head of state sent his message of solidarity and condolences to the people and government of the Republic of Cuba for the tragic accident that occurred with the recent explosion at the Hotel Saratoga in Havana.

For his part, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero reaffirmed that Cuba will cooperate with Venezuela under any circumstance. “We are going to continue defending Venezuela, defending the President,” Marrero said.
