The distinguished guest thanked Cuba for its collaboration to develop the sport in his country, which managed to become a power in boxing thanks to Cuban coaches and also highlighted the support in the fight against colonialism in Africa.

"In our country we try to include children and young people in physical and sports activities as a means to raise their quality of life, create jobs and prevent crime, just like in Cuba," he said.
