Cuban Vice-President Salvador Valdes met on Friday with the vice-president of the African Union Commission, Thomas Kwesi Quartey, who is on a working visit to the Caribbean island.
At the fraternal meeting, the two leaders spoke about the friendship and solidarity between Cuba and African nations. They also noted Cuba’s collaboration with that distant continent in the fields of public health, education and technical and professional training, in addition to analyzing international matters.
According to an official press release, Valdes thanked the African Union for its traditional stance in support of an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba. (Taken from Prensa Latina)
