Cuban president attends event for the 50th anniversary of the Polisario Front

Havana, May 10 (RHC) Miguel Díaz-Canel, first secretary of the Central Committee of Cuba’s Communist Party and President of the Republic, attends this Wednesday the act for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Polisario Front, in the Universal Hall of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR), in Havana.

Also participating are Roberto Morales Ojeda, member of the Political Bureau of the Party and secretary of Organization; and Jatri Aduh, member of the National Secretariat of the Polisario Front and special envoy of the president of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR).

The Polisario Front brought together in a single identity the aspirations for independence and sovereignty of the Saharawi people. This liberation movement, created in 1973, sought to end the occupation of Morocco and achieve the liberation of the territory.

Since its very foundation, the Polisario Front (Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and Río de Oro), established contacts with Cuba.

The links with the Cuban Communist Party, based on respect, mutual political trust and peace, have allowed the development of Cuban medical collaboration on Saharawi soil since December 1977, and exchanges in the field of education with the presence of students from that republic in the Caribbean nation.
