Cuban President Diaz-Canel is on a three-day visit to Türkiye. 70 years on from the establishment of relations between the two countries, here is a look back at Türkiye-Cuba relations
Türkiye is opposed to all sanctions against Cuba and argues in favour of ending the US-imposed embargo on the Latin American nation.
However, the connection between Türkiye and Cuba can be traced back to the Ottoman era, particularly when migrants travelled from the Middle East to Cuba at the end of the19th century. In October of 1962, US reconnaissance flights revealed that the Soviets were constructing secret missile bases in Cuba.
Thus, a potential global catastrophe was avoided after the two nuclear states removed their warheads from Cuba and Türkiye.In 1996, then Cuban leader Fidel Castro, visited Türkiye for a United Nations conference. Now, for the first time in 27 years, Cuba’s President is embarking on a trip to Ankara, marking another milestone in ties between the two countries.Amid Cuba's energy crisis, aggravated by Washington's sanctions, Havana has turned to Türkiye for help.
