Cuban-Dominican Ties
Close, says FM
Cairo - Dominican
Foreign Minister Carlos
Morales Troncoso
affirmed Sunday that the
close relations between
Cuba and his country are
positive, and called the
Island “important
partner,” in statements
made shortly before
leaving the Egyptian
capital for Qatar.
Morales made a 3-day
visit to Egypt as part
of a tour that will
close Monday in the
United Arab Emirates,
after he accompanies
Dominican President
Leonel Fernandez in his
official Doha visit.
In statements for Prensa
Latina, the diplomat
affirmed “Cuba has
become an important
partner for the
Dominican Republic,” and
stressed “there are key
economic and cultural
issues in which both
sides work closely
together.”
These historic
relations, he noted,
have been dynamic during
the government of
President Fernandez, and
the two countries
currently maintain
common stances at
several international
forums.
“We work very close with
the Cuban mission in
Geneva,” the minister
added, and highlighted
that bilateral relations
have increased, and
trade currently exceeds
100 million dollars. |
