Detailed explanation-1: -With Cuba’s proximity to the United States, Castro and his regime became an important Cold War ally for the Soviets. The relationship was for the most part economic, with the Soviet Union providing military, economic, and political assistance to Cuba.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fidel Castro held the position from 1976 to 2011, and Raúl Castro held the position from 2011 to 2021. Raúl Castro continued to hold the position of first secretary until the 8th Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba, held 16–19 April 2021, when he retired from office.
Detailed explanation-3: -Castro’s government emphasised social projects to improve Cuba’s standard of living, often to the detriment of economic development.
