The Republic of Cuba is tuned to strengthen relations with various states of the world. While the press is actively discussing the procedure for rapprochement between the «Island of Freedom» with the United States, launched after fifty years of enmity, Cubans continue to establish communications on other fronts, including with the Russian Federation. So, on January 21, 2015, the Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba, Emilio Losada Garcia, came to Russian Yekaterinburg on an official visit. Having taken a decent luggage with him, including clothes, essential items and a razor set, he showed that he was tuned in for a long work in this region. The main purpose of the visit of the Cuban Ambassador to Yekaterinburg is to strengthen relations between the two states. Emilio Losada Garcia noted that both the powers were politically, and remained close to each other, which can not be said about the economic side of the interaction. Therefore, today’s priority of his country is to establish economic relations with Russia. However, he did not specify the goals of his visit to Yekaterinburg. Probably the reason for this interest in Cuba in the Middle Urals is the complete absence of any interaction between this region of the Russian Federation and the island of Freedom.
Over the past years, only two goods have been exported from Cuba to Russia to Russia: tobacco and alcohol. On the territory of the Middle Urals, a minimum of goods were also produced to Cuba — branded razor sets of local manufacturing, as well as low -voltage asbestos, cement, mineral fertilizers, some products for the sector of mechanical engineering. With an eye on the outlined tendency of rapprochement between Russia and Cuba, the range of exported and imported products will continue to expand. The heads of states are no less interested in the development of tourism.
Ambassador’s plans for Yekaterinburg
First of all, Emilio Losada Garcia is going to pay a visit to the Ural Chamber of Commerce and Industry to meet with the governor of the region. Kuyvashev. In addition, the ambassador plans to visit the medical institutions of Yekaterinburg for the presentation of Cuban development — medicines to combat complications of people suffering from diabetes.
