Cuban envoy to Moscow will end his mission New Year’s Day

Emilio Ratmir Lozada GarcĂ­a will leave his post in Moscow as Cuba’s ambassador to Russia and return to Cuba on Jan. 1, 2018, after a four-year assignment in the Russian capital. His experience in Moscow will be invaluable now that President Donald Trump’s reversal of policy has made Russia an important supplier of goods to Cuba, second only to China.
