We confirm the intention to further strengthen the multifaceted Russian-Cuban strategic interaction,” the spokeswoman said.

Zakharova recalled that Cubans voted on Sunday to elect the lawmakers for the National People’s Power Assembly (Parliament) and supported all 470 nominated candidates.

We see these elections as people’s support for the State’s efforts to address the challenges being faced by the country. We welcome the successful conclusion of the electoral process in Cuba,” she stressed.

The official described the result as a maturation of Cuban society, its consolidation based on policies to defend the country’s national interests and sovereignty.
