Oslo, October 4, 2022. The ambassador, Maité Rivero Torres, received Odd-Jarl Gerhardsen and Birgit Skjaeret, editor-in-chief and member of the Editorial Board, respectively, of Friheten, the newspaper of the Communist Party of Norway (NKP ), who will make a several-day visit to Cuba.
The Cuban diplomat addressed aspects of the current Cuban reality, with emphasis on the impact of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States for more than 60 years and the ongoing campaign of destabilization and subversion with the aim of overthrowing the Revolution. Likewise, she highlighted the unquestionable achievements made in the last period, which has been full of big challenges.
The occasion was propitious to exchange also on the considerable damage caused by the Hurricane Ian as it passed through the west of the country and the massive participation of the people, guided and accompanied by their leaders, in the recovery efforts.
The Ambassador wished the friends of the NKP a good trip and a pleasant stay in Cuba. (Embassy of Cuba in Norway)
