Cuban President's visit to St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Havana, Dec 5 (RHC) Means of communication in St. Vincent and the Grenadines on Monday highlighted the three-day official visit of Cuban President Miguel-Díaz Canel to that Antillean nation, at the invitation of Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves.

The weekly Searchlight reported that during the presence of the two dignitaries at the Medical and Diagnostic Center in the city of Georgetown, Gonsalves considered as a "lie" the statement by the U.S. Government that Cuban doctors cooperating in different countries "are victims of human trafficking".

According to the national newspaper, the San Vincentian prime minister said before health personnel from both nations, that "the United States of America does not understand the internationalist and selfless character of the Cuban people”; therefore it resorts to lies.
