Communist Party of Cuba and PSUV Sign Cooperation Agreement
The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) has signed a cooperation and exchange agreement with the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC).
On Tuesday, August 8, Diosdado Cabello, first vice president of PUV, signed the agreement on behalf of the party. For PCC, the agreement was signed by the secretary of Organization of the Communist Party of Cuba, Roberto Morales Ojeda.
According to the signatories, this agreement is aimed at strengthening friendship, dialogue and communication between the two organizations, in addition to reciprocal learning and political trust.
Diosdado Cabello stated that it was an honor for him to sign the agreement on behalf of the PSUV, President Nicolás Maduro, and the party’s membership of more than 6 million Venezuelans.
He added that the peoples of Cuba and Venezuela have survived all attacks, and that at this moment they are the lights that illuminate other peoples around the world who want to be free.
He further added that this agreement will help both the PSUV and the PCC, as it will lighten the burden of the paths they have taken together.
“Future expectations are that we will always be united while facing an enemy that we know and that we do not underestimate,” Cabello said.
The PSUV delegation that is visiting Cuba is headed by its first vice-president, Diosdado Cabello, and the other members are the vice-president of organization of PSUV, Pedro Infante; vice-president of formation, Tania Díaz; vice-president of Productive Economy, Jesús Faría; vice-president of Missions and Great Missions, Erika Farias, vice-president of Finance, Yelitze Santaella, and the state liaison of the party in Mérida, Jehyson Guzmán.
Many PSUV supporters complain about the lack of an intensive and comprehensive political training initiative of the party, destined to build solid Marxist-Leninist cadres. No details have been given yet in this regard, but some analysts are of the opinion that this area would be one of those covered by the new agreements.
After their arrival on Monday, August 7, the PSUV delegation visited the Santa Ifigenia Cemetery in Santiago de Cuba, where they honored the heroes of the Cuban Revolution and Commander Fidel Castro.
The visit of the PSUV delegates will last until Friday, August 11. During this time they will meet with various authorities of the Communist Party of Cuba, with the objective of strengthening inter-party relations.
