HAVANA, Cuba, CMC—Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel says the recent visit to the island by the speaker of the Trinidad-Tobago House of Representatives, Bridgid Annisette-George, will mark a landmark in bilateral relations between the two nations.
During talks at Havana’s Revolution Palace, the Cuban head of state said welcoming Annisette-George was his pleasure and great satisfaction.
The speaker of the House of Representatives in the Twin Island Republic visited Cuba from September 2 to September 7.
According to a news release by the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Diaz-Canel stressed the bilateral historic relationship, which is based on mutual respect, friendship, and solidarity. He also referred to the common positions of both governments and the exchange of projects and ideas, which all made the visit so important.
The President also ratified Cuba’s commitments presented at the most recent Cuba-CARICOM Summit, at which the island proposed a series of joint projects.
For her part, Annisette-George said it was an honor to be warmly welcomed in Cuba, and her visit contributed to continuing to strengthen friendship, collaboration, and solidarity between the two peoples, governments, and parliaments.
