The message reads, in particular:

“You are well known in Russia as one of the modern world’s most influential and outstanding political figures. We highly value your unswerving commitment to strengthening the relations between our two countries, relations that for many decades now have been suffused with the spirit of mutual respect and sympathy. These relations represent a capital that we treasure and will strive to multiply.

I am confident that Russia and Cuba will continue to be active partners committed to developing cooperation in various spheres in the interests of our peoples and ensuring peace and stability”.

Mr Putin also wished Mr Castro a speedy recovery.
