Tehran-The meeting between the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, with the leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, yesterday afternoon, was like a symbol to seal the first part of an official visit in which brotherhood and common good prevailed.
“We must take advantage of the existing political and economic capabilities between Iran and Cuba to form a union, a coalition between countries that share the same position against the impositions of the US and Westerners,” Ayatollah Khamenei expressed on the social network X.
Delving into the historical links between the Iranian and Cuban processes, the leader of the Islamic Revolution added that “22 years ago I met with Mr. Fidel Castro. The Cuban Revolution and the figure of Castro always had a special attraction for the Iranian revolutionaries, since before the triumph of the Islamic Revolution. The reason was his sincerity in his revolutionary positions”.
In the same social network, Díaz-Canel highlighted the honor of being received by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Grand Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, and referring to the evocation he made of his meeting with the Commander-in-Chief, he ratified “the will to continue developing relations of friendship and cooperation between our countries”.
The website of the Presidency informed that, during the day, the Caribbean dignitary was received by the Iranian President, Ayatollah Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi, with whom he had a private dialogue, and then both participated, with their delegations, in the talks, which resulted in important economic agreements.
He also met with Mohamad Baqer Galibaf, president of the Islamic Consultative Assembly; visited the Pasteur Institute, and toured the Iranian Science and Technology Pavilion, where he could appreciate the productive and scientific capacities that this country has generated for development and also in response to the siege and sanctions that the Western powers, led by the US, have imposed on it.
