The office of the Cuban Presidency confirmed on Friday that President Miguel Diaz-Canel hosted Brazilian presidential aide Celso Amorim in an effort to discuss reviving political and economic bilateral relations. 

The Cuban presidency took to X (formerly Twitter) to cite Amorim as saying: "The fact that I was sent with a letter to the [Cuban] President symbolizes the desire to bring Brazil closer to Cuba, to re-establish, if possible, relationships that had been very close and will continue to be so in the future".

This comes almost a month after the conclusion of the third EU-CELAC summit which hosted EU leaders alongside leaders from the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, which offered the two blocs an opportunity to strengthen their partnership, achieve "fair green and digital transitions" and "demonstrate a shared commitment to upholding the rules-based international order."

The Cuban president reaffirmed during the summit that Havana sought to strengthen the relations between the two blocs on the basis of "equality and mutual respect".

According to Cuba's parliament, "The European Parliament lacks the moral, political and legal authority to judge Cuba," adding that "this could cast doubt on the EU's objectives of seeking to re-launch its relations with Latin America and the Caribbean."
