Havana, November 14 (RHC)-- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel is fulfilling a packed agenda in London, where he paid tribute Wednesday to Karl Marx in Highgate Cemetery, in north London.

During his stay in London, the Cuban head of state has held meetings with British authorities, among them Philip Hammond, considered the second highest government official in the United Kingdom.
Referring to the meeting, Díaz-Canel wrote on his twitter account: “We had a meeting with Philippe Hammond, Chancellor of the United Kingdom, who visited Cuba as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in 2016. It was the first official visit of a British chancellor to our country since 1958.”
Also on Twitter, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs disclosed that the Cuban president and Chancellor Hammond exchanged opinions on issues of the bilateral agenda.
