Cuba celebrates 45 years of diplomatic relations with Suriname

 

Havana, May 31 (RHC) Cuba today celebrates the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with Suriname, in the context of the official visit of the president of the National Assembly of that South American nation, Marinus Bee.

The celebration will take place at the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples and will be attended by its Cuban counterpart, Esteban Lazo.

During his stay on the island, Bee will hold conversations with Cuban authorities and visit places of historical and cultural interest, among other activities. He was received by the head of the Cuban parliament at the headquarters of the National Capitol.

We will work to increase and diversify our relationships, which can include many sectors and thus we will take other steps in the purpose of promoting integration in the Caribbean area, commented Lazo.

Likewise, he expressed gratitude for the condemnation of that South American nation to the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba and its inclusion in the list of States that allegedly sponsor terrorism.

Lazo reviewed the processes carried out to adopt the current Constitution and detailed the structure of the system of Popular Power bodies on the island. He also highlighted the state of the economic and political relations of the Caribbean nation with the countries and blocs of the region, based on transparency, cooperation and solidarity.

For his part, Bee thanked the welcome and reiterated Surinamese support for the Cuban fight against the hostility of the United States.

He also expressed that Suriname aspires to strengthen bilateral cooperation, in the context of common challenges as Caribbean countries.

Cuba and Suriname established diplomatic relations on May 31, 1979, which have been based on bilateral solidarity and cooperation for more than four decades. (Source: PL)
