Relations between Cuba and Mexico are based on confidence and collaboration, said Cesar Octavio Camacho, president of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in an interview published by Granma newspaper.

"We are two fraternally linked countries with a great future," he stated, and added that both countries are living through an extraordinary moment in terms of the renewal of their ties.

According to Granma, Camacho has a long resume of involvement in Mexican politics, being a lawyer by trade, and having held many posts in the government of the Mexican State.

In 1993, Camacho was the Deputy Secretary General of the PRI, and was senator from 2000 to 2006. He was elected to his current position in late 2012.

The leader recalled that even in the most difficult moment in history, ties joining his country with the island have never been broken off, and about this issue, he stated that "the past is a reference point that satisfies us and of which we are proud, but we look forward to what we can do now."

Camacho stressed the boost to those ties implied by the visit to Cuba this year of President Enrique Peña Nieto, and his exchanges with the island's Head of State Raul Castro, as well as the agreements signed to strengthen bilateral cooperation, legal assistance in criminal matters, and exchanges in tourism, higher education, environment, and natural resources.
