Cuban Ambassador Gustavo Tristá thanked Serbia for its vote in favour of the resolution condemning the U.S. blockade recently presented before the UN General Assembly (UNGA).
At an official ceremony to celebrate the 120th anniversary of diplomatic relations between both nations, which was attended by the Serbian Deputy Culture Minister Stanko Blagojević, the Cuban diplomat pointed out that the Serbian stance is in line with its historical attitude as a friendly nation, diplomatic sources reported.
Before a large attendance of government representatives, diplomats and friends, Tristá also praised the most relevant moments in the common history and the outstanding role of culture in such a context.
He also emphasized mutual support both in the defence of Serbia’s territorial integrity and in the struggle against the U.S. blockade.
Blagojević, on the other hand, stressed that Serbia and Cuba are united by deep mutual understanding ties based on friendship, traditions of freedom and ideals of independence.
