Havana, February 10 (RHC)-- Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (CC PCC) and President of the Republic, arrived this Saturday morning at the Special Municipality Isla de la Juventud with the aim of finding solutions and strategies for the country's development.

We continue touring #Cuba, to exchange with labor collectives that do not achieve satisfactory results. To dialogue, encourage and seek solutions. It is possible to move forward, but it will only be the product of daily work, the president wrote in his X account.

For his part, Roberto Morales Ojeda, Secretary of Organization of the CC PCC, who accompanies the Head of State during the tours around the country wrote on the same social network: "This Saturday we arrived at the special municipality Isla de la Juventud where together with @DiazCanelB we will continue visiting places that have not obtained satisfactory results. Dialoguing about possible solutions and growth strategies is the purpose.  #Cuba #GenteQueSuma."

In this visit, the second of the country's top leader to the municipality in the last 21 days, the agenda is aimed at entities with problems in their management such as the Industrial Agricultural and Livestock Enterprise, which does not fulfill its plans and is far below its potential.

Díaz-Canel criticized the poor planning and insisted on the need to think and organize the work, while indicating the recovery of the large warehouses of the company now in disuse.

The President and Morales Ojeda also visited the General Teaching Hospital "Héroes del Baire", where in an exchange with doctors and directors of the sector they learned about the deficit of some specialties, for which they indicated to make an integral analysis with the Ministry of Public Health. 

They considered unacceptable for the municipality that the infant mortality figure is 9.3 per thousand live births. Maternal mortality has remained at zero for 22 years.

Saturday's visit also included the Island's fishing industry, an economic pillar of the territory, which brings fresh foreign currency to the country through the export of lobsters.

The non-fulfillment of the 2023 plan was influenced by weather problems, the low manifestation of the species and technical difficulties of the vessels, but the President highlighted the knowledge of his workers and said he felt confident that the indicators will improve.
