Cuba and Russia ratified last week their historic ties of friendship and cooperation during a meeting between Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parilla and his Russian Federation counterpart Sergey Lavrov at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Havana.

”I believe that all this work has enriched and strengthened our relations, converting them into a truly strategic association,” Lavrov affirmed after signing three documents with his host.

A political consultation plan between the two Foreign Ministries covering the 2010-2011 period establishes the proposal to fortify the excellent existing political links between the two governments via periodic interchanges on general, regional and multilateral issues.

The Joint Statement on the commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the victory over fascism underlines its significance and contains the parties’ intention to contribute to the consolidation of the ideals of peace, greater understanding and friendship among the peoples.

The third document is the Joint Statement on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the re-establishing of diplomatic relations between the USSR and Cuba, confirming a will to celebrate that important date.

The two foreign ministers discussed aspects of the current state of links between their countries, economic relations, education, culture and tourism, among others.

Lavrov confirmed Russia’s total condemnation of the US blockade of the island and stated that “Russia and Cuba share many things, such as our adherence to common ideals, international law and legality, to the UN and to joint efforts to resolve all kinds of problems.

“We share a very strong human warmth between the Russian and Cuban peoples and this warmth gives our relations a solid foundation,” he emphasised.

Cuba Trains Future Pacific Revolutionaries Under Our Noses

While NZ and Aussie troops are working to stabilise Timor Leste (East Timor) and both country's taxpayers are forking out for aid-the Cubans are making ideological hay under our noses.

Hundreds of young Timorese are training in medicine in Cuba, as are other young people from Tuvalu, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and even our tiny near neighbour Nauru.



This second video shows more clearly that the students are learning more than medicine. They are being taught to identify with Cuba, Castro and the ideals of the Cuban revolution.



While we send soldiers and aid around the pacific, Cuba is indoctrinating hundreds of young islanders, many of whom will one day hold influential positions in their native countries.

Che Guevara was a medical doctor was he not?
