Russia Eyes Cuba’s 25 Billion Debt

HAVANA TIMES — Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak said in late September that talks will begin concerning the debt of 25 billion dollars that Moscow is asking for from Havana, reports the Russian news agency Ria Novosti.

“I hope we can have discussions in October. These will still not be negotiations, but an attempt to resume the dialogue that was interrupted ten years ago,” said Storchak in Mexico, where he participated in a meeting of the G-20 nations.

The Russian deputy minister said that the order was received by President Vladimir Putin, noting that the financial situation has normalized in both countries compared to 2002, when the dialogue concerning Cuba’s debt was interrupted.
