Mexico City, Feb 12 (RHC) La Jornada newspaper on Sunday published a new editorial praising the successful official visit of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel to Mexico, and the strengthening of bilateral friendship between both peoples and governments.

According to the publication, this feat has turned it into a reference for all movements that vindicate sovereignty and dignity ahead of neocolonial attacks.

By giving Díaz-Canel the Aztec Eagle Order, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador reaffirmed his deep admiration for the Cuban people for their courageous resistance to the US blockade imposed on Cuba for over 60 years.

According to the publication, this feat has turned it into a reference for all movements that vindicate sovereignty and dignity ahead of neocolonial attacks.

The Cuban leader assured that his country’s bilateral relations with Mexico “have no comparison with any other country”.

Plus, he conveyed his government’s gratitude for the support provided amid the difficult circumstances Cuba has experienced due to natural disasters.

Mexico does not forget that at the height of the health emergency, Havana sent hundreds of doctors to fight off the coronavirus in Mexico. They played an invaluable role in saving lives.

The Cuban doctors´ work in our country has not ended. As the pandemic waned, they joined the current administration’s efforts to bring health care to communities historically marginalized from this right.

In this regard, it is critical to emphasize the Cubans are not displacing Mexican professionals; on the contrary, they carry out their solidarity mission in hospitals where national doctors have repeatedly refused to go. (Prensa Latina)
