The Cuban delegation is also composed of Brigadier General Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez, and Gerardo Penalver Portal, Director General of Bilateral Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba.
Valdes Mesa began an official visit to South Africa on Friday at the invitation of the government led by the African National Congress (ANC).
