HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 5 (acn) The governments of Cuba and Finland signed on Tuesday in this capital a political declaration for the resumption of official cooperation between the two nations.
Signing the document, at the Cuban Foreign Ministry, were Rogelio Sierra, Deputy Foreign Minister, and Pertti Torstila, secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of that country.
Bilateral relations were broken after the adoption, by the European Union (EU) of the so-called Common Stance, a document signed on December 2, 1996, by the 27 member states of that regional organization, which conditions its bonds with Havana to the adoption, by the Cuban government, of changes in its political system, something that the island totally rejects.
However, in mid 2012, there were signs of recovery with respect to bonds between Cuba and Finland.
Omar Gonzalez, president of the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples, traveled in 2012 to the European nation, with the purpose of undertaking new cooperation projects between his organization and the School of Arts and Design of the University of Aalto.
Likewise, Aino-Kaisa Pekonen, president of the Finland-Cuba Parliamentary Friendship Group, met in November in Helsinki with Gonzalez, her counterpart on the island.
