Algiers, Algeria | September 27th, 2024 — In a heartwarming ceremony held at Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment, Deputy Minister Déborah Rivas, along with His Excellency Abdelkrim Benchiah, the Algerian Ambassador to Cuba, and former Cuban Ambassador to Algeria, and incumbent Director for North Africa and the Middle East at Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Armando Vergara Bueno, came together to celebrate a generous food donation from Algeria. Mr. Vergara Bueno shared this touching event on Twitter, highlighting the profound spirit of solidarity and cooperation that defines the relationship between the two nations. This occasion marks the second such contribution in the last two years, reinforcing the deep bond of friendship and solidarity between Cuba and Algeria.

The event, characterized by a spirit of gratitude and collaboration, served as a poignant reminder of the historical ties that bind Cuba and Algeria. Ambassador Benchiah emphasized the significance of this humanitarian aid, highlighting Algeria’s unwavering commitment to supporting Cuba during challenging times. In an era where global solidarity is paramount, this donation exemplifies the deep-rooted friendship and cooperation between the two countries.

This latest contribution is not just a testament to humanitarian efforts; it symbolizes the historical and cultural connections forged between Cuba and Algeria over decades of shared struggles against colonialism and imperialism. The relationship dates back to the early 1960s when Algeria, fresh from its own hard-won independence from French colonial rule, found an ally in Cuba. The Cuban government, under Fidel Castro, provided vital support to the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN), including military training, medical assistance, and diplomatic backing. This solidarity laid the foundation for a robust partnership that has thrived through various global challenges.

The enduring alliance between Cuba and Algeria is not merely historical; it manifests in various spheres of cooperation, including healthcare, education, and cultural exchanges. Cuban medical professionals have long been a staple in Algeria, providing healthcare services and training to local medical personnel. This cooperation has significantly improved Algeria’s healthcare system and reflects Cuba’s commitment to global health initiatives. Moreover, Algeria’s steadfast support for Cuba in international forums, particularly concerning the U.S. embargo, underscores the mutual respect and solidarity that characterize their diplomatic relations.

Culturally, the bond between Cuba and Algeria is enriched by a shared revolutionary spirit. Both nations celebrate their histories of resistance against colonial oppression, inspiring generations to uphold the ideals of freedom, equality, and justice.
