Argentina, Cuba debate cooperation

Argentina: Cuban ambassador to Buenos Aires Aramis Fuente and the governor of the province of Misiones, Argentine Maurice Closs debated actions to boost and promote Cuban collaboration with that province.

The debates took place in Posadas, 620 miles north of Buenos Aires, which also included the reviewing of the state of bilateral relations, diplomatic sources told Prensa Latina.

Fuente also visited the municipalities of Apostoles, Montecarlo, Campo Viera and the capital of Misiones, where he was warmly welcomed by the mayor of the city and declared Guest of Honor.

The diplomat held meetings with relatives of Argentine students in Cuba, with officials of municipality governments, members of the Associations of Friendship with Cuba and with residents of different communities.

During these meetings the Cuban ambassador spoke about the economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed by the US on Cuba almost half a century ago, creating a loss of 93,000 million dollars.

He also explained the case of the antiterrorist Cuban Five unjustly held in US prisons more than a decade ago. The case of the Five gathers people from around the world, calling on the US Supreme Court to review the rigged judicial process levied against them.
