"Russia will continue to support Cuba, which faces the consequences of an illegal US blockade. Before the end of the year, we will send another shipment of humanitarian aid to this brother country,” Borisov stated.

Bilateral development prospects

Both sides agreed to strengthen trade agreements to extract Cuban oil reserves at the Gulf of Mexico and increase direct flights from Russia to promote tourism to the Caribbean nation.

"We are interested in Cuban production. We must allow our entrepreneurs to discover its coffee, tobacco, rum, fish, seafood, and immunological products, which have great quality," Borisov insisted.

According to several media sources, the Russian delegation at the high-level talks included Andrey Guskov, the Russian ambassador to Cuba, and Alexander Shchetinin, the director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Latin American Department.
