Cuban President Diaz-Canel speaks with his Mexican counterpart

Havana, Dec 28 (RHC) Presidents Miguel Díaz-Canel and Andrés Manuel López Obrador held a telephone conversation and expressed their satisfaction with the excellent state of bilateral relations.

On his Twitter account, the Cuban leader said that during the dialogue, he expressed his ‘deep gratitude to the people and government of Mexico for the generous and supportive help provided to the Caribbean nation.’

On May 8, Díaz-Canel presented his Mexican counterpart with the José Martí Order, the highest decoration awarded by the Cuban State, in the Cuban capital.

After the fire at the supertanker base in the province of Matanzas and the passage of Hurricane Ian in western Cuba, Mexico showed its support for the Caribbean Island by sending supplies and technical personnel to minimize the damage. (Source: Prensa Latina)
