Havana, Jan 25 (Prensa Latina) The first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and president of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel, expressed his willingness to strengthen ties with the Communist Party of Spain (PCE), the Presidency informed on Thursday.

At a meeting with PCE Secretary General Enrique Santiago Romero at the Palace of the Revolution (seat of the Executive) on Wednesday , Díaz-Canel referred to the need for joint work on issues of international interest.

I think that there are many global issues; that we have to be sharing ideas; above all, visions from our positions, especially in view of the media manipulation of issues related to the visions of the leftist, socialist, communist parties, and also for the Third World, the Cuban president said.

The head of State also referred to the environment, or the necessary energy transition, which he considered essential, and to which poor countries do not know what their paths with solutions can be.

In this regard, Santiago Romero noted that capitalism is incompatible with the workers’ rights, with a dignified life, and “today it is already clear that this is “incompatible with the maintenance of life on the planet, of ecosystems, and is a risk of destruction for the human species.”
