"We had a very interesting meeting and discussion with the Foreign Minister of Cuba and member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Cuba and the delegation of the Cuban Party, which is visiting Greece in this period, today at the headquarters of the Central Committee of the party.

There was an exchange of information about the situation in Greece, in our region, of Europe, as well as about the situation in Cuba, in Latin America and for the situation in the world in general. We referred to the dangerous situations for peace which are being created in various parts of the world.

We informed the Minister about the developments in the EU, the course of the economic crisis in our country and in Europe more generally, as well as about the political line of the KKE as developed at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of Greece. We expressed our solidarity with the people of Cuba, with their struggle for the country's economic development, against the imperialist interventions, against the blockade, against all policies which make lives of the people of Cuba more difficult. At the same time, we expressed the need for development of our parties' bilateral relations, but also our internationalist solidarity within the framework of the international meetings of the Communist and Workers Parties, of other regional meetings, for peace and progress in our countries, our regions, in the whole world.

We will continue the discussion, the exchange of opinions, the solidarity and friendship between the KKE and the Communist Party of Cuba, and chiefly  between the Greek and the Cuban people".
