In the first activity in Moscow, the president paid tribute to the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz (1926-2016), and placed a wreath before the monument that perpetuates his memory, in the square that bears his name in the Sokol neighborhood.

Previously, Díaz-Canel held a brief meeting with members of the Cuban state mission in the Eurasian nation.

The Cuban head of state was received by the vice president of the Russian Security Council, and leader of the United Russia Party, Dmitri Medvedev, who asked to “convey greetings and best wishes to Army General, Raúl Castro Ruz.”
