For his part, the Cuban diplomat expressed gratitude for the support of the people and government of Kazakhstan for the just struggle of his country against the criminal economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States for more than six decades.

He underscored the illegality of Washington's policy against the Antillean nation and called attention to the rejection it provokes in the vast majority of the international community, which has condemned it for 29 consecutive years in the United Nations General Assembly.

He said that the interaction with Kazakhstan reached the areas of health, biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, tourism, sports, culture, legal assistance, as well as the expansion of the legal basis for cooperation between the chambers of commerce and the attorney general's offices of both countries.
