HAVANA — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov condemned U.S. sanctions on Cuba on Thursday as he visited the island and met with top leaders, including newly re-elected President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
The Russian foreign minister met with Díaz-Canel and semi-retired but still influential leader Raul Castro, according to photographs published by the Communist Party newspaper Granma, although no further details were offered on the content of the meetings. Earlier in the day, Lavrov met with his Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodríguez and took part in a wreath-laying ceremony at a memorial in Havana for Cuban independence hero José Martí.
Cuba has had an extensive relationship with Moscow since the 1960s, when it joined the bloc of socialist countries led by the then Soviet Union, receiving many vital imports - fertilizers, industrial equipment, spare parts and, above all, oil - in exchange for sugar.
