Aliaksandr Lukashenka is stunned with Fidel Castro’s courage

Fidel Castro had left a “lasting impression” on Aliaksandr Lukashenka several years ago.

According to Lukashenka, “Castro has always been an embodiment of courage” for him. Thus, he “a bit stunned” by how “much this man knows about today's problems in Cuba and by his grasp of science. In particular, agriculture development.”

“I think Cuba knows just as well as Belarus does that relations between the two countries have always been and are kind and brotherly, - Lukashenka stated during the meeting with Fidel Castro's special representatives. – We always stood together with you when our country, Cuba, and the Cuban revolution were pressured. We didn't have some huge potential but economic power was sufficient for our relations. We have never shunned any areas of cooperation with Cuba. The state of affairs still continues.”

Lukashenka also stated that Belarus “would be greatly pleased” to use your scientific research in the area of crop and animal husbandry for the sake of “benefiting not only Cuba but Belarus, too,” the press service of the president informs.
