During his first stop, after he arrived in Moscow to participate in the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the Russian Society of Friendship with Cuba, Gonzalez said he was proud to visit a space of high political and social relevance for both countries.

“For the ICAP, to come for the first time to this place of remembrance to Fidel, means to revive the years of friendship and solidarity that unite our nations, and it is also a sign of gratitude to Russia for building a monument in memory of the undefeated Cuban commander-in-chief,” the ICAP president told Prensa Latina.

After this symbolic moment, Gonzalez and his accompanying delegation went to the headquarters of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, where the two institutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

Alexander Shkolnik, Deputy Secretary of the Civic Chamber, signed the document on the Russian side. The text intends to expand cooperation relations in several fields and continue working for common Russian and Cuban causes.

Cuban Ambassador to Russia, Julio Garmendia, and ICAP European director Rigoberto Zarza attended the ceremony.

In this final stage, the ICAP president will attend the International Conference on the 60th Anniversary of the Russian Society of Friendship with Cuba, where he will deliver a letter of recognition to the organization sent by Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
