In the margins of the end of World War II, in which they participated in the allied bloc against Nazi-fascism, Cuba and Canada established diplomatic relations on March 16, 1945.
Eighty years later, the two countries have consolidated their ties in all areas. It is a friendly relationship, based on dialogue and respect, which has created an atmosphere of trust and collaboration.
