President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) met this Tuesday (24) with the Cuban dictator, Miguel Díaz-Canel, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the social networks, Lula shared a photo next to the dictator. “Meeting with the president of Cuba, Díaz-Canel. Brazil restoring its diplomatic relations in the world”, wrote the PT in the caption.

Lula’s trip to Argentina also served as an official resumption of Brazil’s relations with dictatorships such as Venezuela and Cuba. The Brazilian representative participated in the VII Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac). Lula defended the end of the economic embargo against Cuba imposed by the United States 60 years ago.

“An end to the blockade of Cuba, which has lasted more than 60 years without any need. Cubans do not want to copy the Brazilian or US model, they want to make their own model. And who has to do with that? So, it has to treat Venezuela and Cuba with great affection and, in what we can help solve their problems, we will help”, he said.
