During her meeting, the Cuban leader thanked Hoffmann for her visit and for her political organization’s solidarity with Cuba.

Díaz-Canel tackled Cuba´s present situation, besieged by the U.S. blockade and also debated on the inclusion of Cuba in the state-sponsors-of-terrorism (SST) list.

In this regard, Díaz-Canel thanked Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva´s nonstop support amid complex times Cuba is going through.

Meanwhile, Hoffmann praised the significance of her visit to Cuba and also thanked the solidarity of the Cuban people when Lula was imprisoned.

She recalled her visit to Cuba back in 2019, when she received over two million signatures from the Cuban people for the release of the Brazilian president.
