According to the local news agency Prensa Latina Castro flew to the capital of Venezuela at the head of a representative Cuban delegation, which included Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero, as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic Bruno Rodriguez.
Castro, 91, currently does not officially hold any state or party office, and his appearance in public, even in Cuba, is associated exclusively with the most important events. Therefore, the revolutionary’s visit abroad testifies to the special nature of relations between Cuba and Venezuela in general and between Castro himself and Hugo Chavez in particular. The Cuban revolutionaries, represented by the Castro brothers and the Venezuelan “commander”, have always been linked by strong ties of friendship, the countries are the closest allies to this day.
Let us recall that the “Commandante” Chavez died on March 5, 2013 after a long fight against cancer. By the way, Chavez was treated in Cuba, where he underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and also underwent several operations. But the disease turned out to be stronger and, at the age of 58, the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution died in a military hospital in Caracas. His remains lie in a marble sarcophagus in the Venezuelan capital’s military history museum.It was this building, located at a strategic height, which was used by Chávez himself in February 1992 as the command center of an armed uprising against the government of President Carlos Andrés Pérez. The uprising then failed, but Chavez grew in popularity which allowed him to become president, winning the 1998 elections. carried out important socialist reforms in the country, and was also remembered by the whole world for his slogans and the fight against the imperialists represented by the United States.BesidesIn August last year, the Russian Defense Ministry announced US intelligence involvement in Chavez’s death. It turned out that Washington used military biological developments to root out objectionable politicians in Latin America. The link between the death of the Venezuelan leader and developments in the field of biological weapons in the United States is confirmed by forensic evidence and testimonies of Cuban doctors who treated Chavez, who declared an atypical evolution of the disease and his resistance to drug use.
