Erkan Aytun, Ambassador and Director General for Latin America and the Caribbean at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye, received the Cuban Ambassador to Türkiye in a meeting held in an atmosphere of friendship, respect, and cordiality.
The acclaimed Turkish artist and thinker Bedri Baykam, one of the most prominent figures in contemporary art from Türkiye, held a meeting with the Consul General of Cuba in Istanbul Raúl E. Madrigal Cárdenas, during which he officially presented his work entitled “El Comandante” to be transferred to and incorporated into the collection of the National Museum of Fine Arts of Cuba.
On January 8, a delegation from the People's Liberation Party (HKP), led by its Secretary General, Ali Serdar Çıngı, visited the Consulate General of Cuba in Istanbul to convey their condolences to the people and government of Cuba, following the death in combat of 32 Cuban citizens during the illegal military operation carried out by the United States in Venezuela on January 3.
The Cuban Ambassador to Türkiye, Alejandro Díaz Palacios, signed the book of condolences opened at the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in posthumous tribute to the victims of the cowardly military aggression by the United States against that sister nation, which culminated in the kidnapping of the Constitutional President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife.
