New EDEK President Receives Cuban Ambassador in Cyprus on Courtesy Visit.
Nicosia, September 28, 2026 – The new president of the Socialist Party of Cyprus (EDEK), Sofía Christodoulou Makri, received on Monday at the offices of her political group the ambassador of the Republic of Cuba accredited in Nicosia, Rubén Pino Martínez.
During the courtesy visit, the Cuban diplomat personally congratulated the young lawyer and new EDEK president on her appointment, and she expressed warm words of gratitude and openness toward the Caribbean ambassador; a reflection of the excellent relations between both peoples and nations, as well as the close ties between the political party she leads and the Communist Party of Cuba.
Pino Martínez was able to update him on the difficult economic situation the island is going through, due to the hostile, inhuman, and criminal blockade imposed by the U.S. government, along with the suffocating energy siege that has increased the suffering of millions of Cubans over the past eleven months, caused by the application of extraterritorial measures and sanctions against the largest of the Antilles and/or third countries trying to do business with Cuba.
