Bilateral meetings close Díaz-Canel's agenda in Brussels

Havana, Jul 18 (RHC) Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel concluded his stay in Brussels this Tuesday with several meetings, in the context of the 3rd European Union-CELAC Summit, among them with the Foreign Minister of Mexico, Alicia Bárcena.

Díaz-Canel spoke with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk. He also met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, with whom he shared his interest in strengthening and expanding bilateral economic, trade and cooperation ties.

As part of his program, he intervened in the plenary of heads of state and government at the Summit, with a call to build better ties on both sides of the Atlantic for the benefit of the peoples.

He also met last Friday with solidarity groups and Cuban residents, and attended on Monday at a political-cultural festival of the People's Summit, held in parallel to the EU-CELAC Summit.

In the meeting of the social movements and the European, Latin American and Caribbean progressive forces, the Cuban president defended the right of the island to advance on its own path, without foreign interference. In the same way, he thanked the solidarity with Cuba and expressed the urgency of betting on a new international order in which that position and cooperation dominate. (Source: PL)
