Nursultan, Feb 4 (RHC) Kazakhstan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muxtar Tleuberdi and Cuban Ambassador to Kazakhstan Emilio Pevida noted the current state and prospects of bilateral relations.

During the meeting at the headquarters of Nursultan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the parties discussed ways to expand cooperation in different spheres of development.

For his part, the Cuban diplomat expressed gratitude for the support of the people and government of Kazakhstan for the just struggle of his country against the criminal economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States for more than six decades.

He underscored the illegality of Washington's policy against the Antillean nation and called attention to the rejection it provokes in the vast majority of the international community, which has condemned it for 29 consecutive years in the United Nations General Assembly.
