Accra, November 14 (RHC) -- Cuba's Vice President Salvador Valdes Mesa continues Tuesday his official visit to Ghana, as part of a tour of African countries, and since his arrival he highlighted the love and gratitude towards the Caribbean island.

Valdes Mesa revealed the special significance of the affection received in Africa, referring to a meeting last night with solidarity organizations and Ghanaians trained in Havana.

"(...) Tonight in Ghana ratified that feeling and how many others unite us with those who here defend our Homeland. It was exciting to listen to Ghanaians who graduated on the Island about what they learned together with us," he wrote on his account on the social network X, formerly Twitter.

Likewise, he addressed the negative effects of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. government for more than 60 years against Cuba and, in that sense, he thanked Ghana for its support in the last vote against that unilateral policy at the United Nations.

For their part, representatives of solidarity organizations and graduates of the Caribbean country ratified that Africa will always accompany the Cuban cause, its solidarity and humanism.

A representation of the graduates in Cuba presented a recognition to the Cuban vice-president in gratitude for their training.

This day began with a tribute to Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1072), first Ghanaian president and one of the political leaders of the independence of the African country.

He also held a meeting with the Speaker of the Parliament of Ghana, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, and a group of Ghanaian parliamentarians, who shared experiences of their ties with Cuba.

According to official sources, Valdes Mesa will also meet with the Cuban medical brigade and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, among other activities.

The tour, which will last until the 22nd, includes Guinea Bissau, Rwanda and Ethiopia.

The official Cuban delegation is also composed of the First Deputy Minister of Public Health, Tania Margarita Cruz Hernandez, and the Deputy Director General of Bilateral Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Angel Villa Hernandez.   (Source: Prensa Latina)
