Havana, February 17 (RHC)-- Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said Monday that solidarity distinguishes his country when referring to 56 years of international medical cooperation.

"56 years of Cuban medical cooperation, with a presence in 164 countries and the participation of more than 400 thousand health collaborators, is evidence of the principles that we defend', Rodríguez wrote on Twitter.

We practice it, as the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, would say, 'with deeds, not with beautiful words.
