Havana, December 29 (RHC) The Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation donated firefighting vehicles to Cuba, in a ceremony that also marked the closing of training and certification for Cuban firefighters who will use these means.

Russian ambassador to Cuba Viktor Koronelli symbolically handed over the teams to the Major General Lázaro Alberto Álvarez Casas, Minister of the Interior of Cuba and member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party. He noted that this action adds to the numerous positive moments of bilateral relations in the closing year, which included exchanges of high-level visits between both countries.
