“The decision of the party congress fully reaffirms your high political authority and signifies the recognition of your service to the country.
We greatly appreciate our strategic partnership with Cuba. I hope that our joint efforts will ensure further development of our constructive bilateral dialogue and mutually beneficial cooperation across all areas and for the benefit of our friendly nations.”
