The Spanish Government has announced the imminent dispatch of humanitarian aid to Cuba following a meeting in Madrid between Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares and Cuban Chancellor Bruno Rodríguez.

European media reported that Albares committed to sending aid to the island—through the United Nations system—comprising food and essential medical supplies, particularly in light of the intensifying US blockade against Cuba.

During the meeting, as reported by EFE, discussions also included the status of Spanish companies operating in Cuba, along with the commitment of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) to support the Caribbean nation.

Following their talks, the Cuban Chancellor emphasized the desire of both parties to «strengthen political dialogue, economic-trade relations, and cooperation for the mutual benefit of both countries, especially in the current complicated international context, marked by breaches of peace, security, and international law, and the growing aggression from the US against Cuba, particularly regarding the fuel supply blockade that causes suffering to our people.»
