Cuba offers Czech Republic rum to pay off ₹1,870 crore debt
Cuba has offered the Czech Republic rum to pay off a $276 million (₹1,870 crore) debt, the Czech Finance Ministry has said. The debt dates back to the Cold War-era, when the countries were part of the communist bloc. Czech imported Cuban rum worth ₹13 crore last year, and if it accepts Cuba's proposal, it'll have enough rum for centuries.
