Cuba accepts the name of the new Brazilian ambassador to the country

The Cuban government accepted Brazilian diplomat Christian Vargas as the new Brazilian ambassador.

The announcement was made this Wednesday, 22.

Brazil has had no representatives in the Caribbean island since 2016, the year of the impeachment of former President Dilma Rousseff.

Cuba refused to accept Michel Temer’s nomination then, claiming that Dilma had been the victim of a “coup”.

During the administration of former president Jair Bolsonaro, only one chargé d’affaires was kept in Cuba, and a Cuban one in Brasília, in a gesture of diplomatic distancing between the two nations.

With the Cuban regime’s rapprochement with the PT government, Havana must appoint a new diplomat to go to Brasília.
