During the official talks at the headquarters of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, both
diplomats analyzed the development of bilateral relations, which they described as excellent.

Rodriguez Parrilla noted that cooperation plans between Cuba and Belize are on the right track and that they will be boosted by this visit of the Belizean foreign minister, who will preside over his country’s delegation to the 12th Cuba-Belize Intergovernmental Meeting.

The Cuban official thanked the visitor for his country’s support of Cuba’s struggle
against Washington’s almost 50-year-old financial, commercial and economic blockade against Havana.

For his part, Erlington expressed his satisfaction at the current level of bilateral
relations and showed interest in further strengthening and expanding these ties.
Earlier on Friday, the distinguished visitor and his accompanying delegation laid a floral wreath before the monument dedicated to Cuban National Hero Jose Marti at the Revolution Square in Havana.

During his stay in Cuba, the Belizean Foreign Minister will also visit places of historic and scientific interest.
