Roberto Morales Ojeda, member of the Political Bureau and Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, held an official meeting with Diosdado Cabello Rondón, Secretary General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), during a visit to Caracas that included tributes to Simón Bolívar and Hugo Chávez.
During the exchange, Cabello Rondón expressed that the presence of the Cuban delegation “is good news for the people and the Party,” and asserted that “Fidel and Chávez are smiling wherever they are, because we knew how to stay united.”
On behalf of President Nicolás Maduro, he extended a warm welcome and expressed his gratitude for Cuba’s constant solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution.
Morales Ojeda conveyed greetings from Army General Raúl Castro and President Miguel Díaz-Canel and reaffirmed Cuba’s commitment to defending Venezuelan sovereignty against imperialist threats.
The unity of the Venezuelan people and its institutions guarantees that the Bolivarian Revolution will emerge stronger, he affirmed.
Both leaders signed a roadmap to follow up on the collaboration agreement between the parties, signed in August 2023, with the aim of strengthening political, diplomatic, and communications action between the two nations.
As part of the official agenda, the Cuban political leader paid tribute to Simón Bolívar at the National Pantheon and Mausoleum of El Libertador, where he laid a wreath on behalf of the Cuban people.
In his message, he reaffirmed his loyalty to the Bolivarian legacy and highlighted the validity of the integrationist ideal: “Unity among peoples is not an option; it is a necessity for survival.”
The delegation later visited the Cuartel de la Montaña, the resting place of Commander Hugo Chávez, where Morales Ojeda placed a white rose as a symbol of the brotherhood between Cuba and Venezuela and recalled their shared revolutionary commitment: “We face the challenges of the eternal Commander, but he lives on in our hearts and in everything we do well.”
Jorge Luis Broche Lorenzo, member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and head of its Economic and Productive Department; Emilio Lozada García, head of the International Relations Department of the Central Committee; Aylín Álvarez García, first vice-rector of the University of the Communist Party of Cuba; Meyvis Estévez Echevarría, first secretary of the National Committee of the UJC; Osnay Miguel Colina Rodríguez, president of the Organizing Committee of the 22nd Congress of the CTC; and Dagoberto Rodríguez Barrera, Cuban ambassador to Venezuela, made up the Cuban delegation.
This meeting reaffirms the willingness of both countries to continue strengthening their political, historical, and revolutionary ties in defense of self-determination and peace in Latin America.
