“A historic day, full of joy and commitment to the Homeland of Bolívar, Sucre, Chávez and Maduro,” the Cuban Foreign Ministry posted on its X profile on Saturday.

Cuba is with Venezuela, in a show of solidarity and support for brother President Maduro in his third term, the text adds.

It also expresses Cuban authorities’ support “for the civil-military union” of the Venezuelan people.

On Friday, President Nicolás Maduro was sworn in as the President of Venezuela for the 2025-2031 six-year term.

In a solemn session in the Elliptical Hall of the Federal Legislative Palace, the re-elected president took his oath in a symbolic act on the original Constitution signed by Commander Hugo Chávez after its approval in 1999.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel attended the ceremony together with Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, and the prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, among other outstanding figures.
