Maduro extended greetings to Army General Raúl Castro Ruz and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, emphasizing their shared fraternity, history, and goals in the face of external political and economic pressures. He characterized the current moment as crucial for the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, who are confronting a “multifaceted and immoral war” aimed at undermining revolutionary ideals rooted in the legacies of Simón Bolívar and José Martí.
The discussions focused on coordinating action plans between the Communist Party of Cuba and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), with a significant emphasis on cultivating new youth leadership. Both leaders agreed that fostering this leadership is essential to enhance regional resistance against imperialist aggression.
Maduro reiterated that the ultimate aim is peace, which he regarded as the defining victory of their efforts. He stressed the necessity for unity among nations that defend sovereignty, social justice, and the right to self-determination. Notable PSUV leaders, including Eduardo Piñate, Pedro Infante, Nicolás Maduro Guerra, Tania Díaz, and Rander Peña, participated in the dialogue with the Cuban delegation, exchanging insights on the regional political and social landscape.
The Cuban delegation, scheduled to remain in Venezuela until September 21, aims to bolster historical cooperation across political, social, and cultural spheres, reaffirming both governments’ commitment to Latin American integration and solidarity.

Morales also urged the international community, including the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), and called on all dignified nations to defend peace.
