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 bi­lat­er­al his­toric re­la­tions, based on mu­tu­al re­spect, friend­ship and sol­i­dar­i­ty and 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, in which the is­land pro­posed a se­ries of projects for joint work.

For her part, An­nisette-George said it was an ho­n­our to be warm­ly wel­comed in Cu­ba and her vis­it con­tributed to con­tin­u­ing to strength­en friend­ship, col­lab­o­ra­tion and sol­i­dar­i­ty be­tween both peo­ples, gov­ern­ments and par­lia­ments.

Trinidad and To­ba­go was one of the first four Caribbean States that in 1972 es­tab­lished diplo­mat­ic re­la­tions with Cu­ba.
