Cuban FM thanked Algeria for food donation

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on Monday thanked Algeria for its solidarity food donation he described as a confirmation of the historic ties of brotherhood, solidarity and mutual support between the two nations.

On Twitter, the Cuban foreign minister expressed his deep gratitude to the Algerian people and government.

On Sunday, Algerian Red Crescent (CRA) announced it will send 180 tons of food aid to Cuba, a nation facing up a hostile economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States, as well as the effects of recent hurricanes.

Algeria´s humanitarian batch includes basic products such as oil, sugar and many others.

Ibtissam Hamlaoui, CRA President, stated such an action expresses Algeria’s solidarity with Cuba, a country “that has always supported us during the National Liberation Revolution”, according to APS news agency.
