Unity of the Left

 by  Arhó

To continue working for the unity of the left-wing forces of Latin America and the Caribbean as what it is, “a strategic value,” was one of the consensuses between the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, and Jorge Alberto Kreyness, Secretary General of the Communist Party of Argentina.

The party leaders held a meeting on Monday afternoon (March 17) at the Palace of the Revolution. Díaz-Canel stressed the need to strengthen an increasingly necessary unity; “a unity,” agreed Kreyness, “both at the Latin American level and in each country.”

The leader reaffirmed the commitment and solidarity of Argentine communists with the Cuban Revolution, although, he said, we must work more on this, not only at the political level but also through cooperation as he exemplified, in the food sector, in which we have diverse experiences, such as the use of technologies for food preservation.

“Thank you for dedicating this time to us, knowing the ‘homework’ you have on your shoulders,” said Kreyness when meeting with Díaz-Canel, in the portico of one of the halls of the Palace of the Revolution.

“Havana and Buenos Aires continue to be in the same place, but sometimes the road is longer and sometimes shorter,” he stressed at the beginning of a dialogue in which the affection went beyond.

The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba expressed his joy for the visit of the Argentine colleague, which will also serve, he said, to strengthen inter-party ties and enhance our historic friendship.

Díaz-Canel conveyed to the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Argentina all the solidarity of our people in view of the difficult situation being experienced by the Argentine people. Kreyness reiterated the value for them to maintain brotherly relations with the Cuban Revolution, the Bolivarian Revolution and the Nicaraguan Revolution.

The leader of the Communist Party of Argentina is in Cuba, among other tasks, to participate in the Patria Colloquium, and was accompanied, in the meeting with Díaz-Canel, by Ariel Elger, secretary of the Communist Party in the province of Buenos Aires.

On the Cuban side, Emilio Lozada García, head of the International Relations Department of the Central Committee, and Juan Carlos Frómeta, an official of that Department, participated in the meeting.
