On its official X account, the Cuban Ministry ratified the will to continue to strengthen the ties of friendship and cooperation that unite the two countries.

Cuba and Japan maintain fluid political, economic and commercial exchanges, in the context of a relationship of mutual respect, which were described by President Miguel Díaz-Canel as “very authentic, very genuine, very original and very particular.”

Of special significance in these ties were the visits to Japan by the historic leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, and Cuban-Argentine Commander Ernesto Che Guevara, who paid tribute to the victims of the nuclear bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Among the latest milestones in bilateral ties are the visits of incumbent Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, then Japanese Foreign Minister, in 2015, and Shinzo Abe in 2016, as Prime Minister of Japan.
