Havana, August 10 (RHC)-- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel visited Wednesday the affected areas of the Matanzas Supertanker Base, where he exchanged with specialized teams from Mexico and Venezuela.

On Twitter, the President's office indicated that Diaz-Canel arrived at the site where the water pump set up by the Venezuelans is located and expressed his gratitude to those workers for their solidarity with the Cuban people.

"We are from different refineries, but we speak the same language, that of solidarity," one of the workers from the land of Bolivar who arrived in the country last Sunday through the 'Juan Gualberto Gómez' international airport in Varadero, also in the Matanzas province, told the head of state.

As part of the tour, Diaz-Canel visited the University of Matanzas, which in these days has functioned as an evacuation center for residents near the Supertanker Base.

Likewise, after the meeting to check on the incident, he went to the 'Antonio Guiteras' Thermoelectric Power Plant, accompanied by Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz, the Secretary of Organization of the PCC, Roberto Morales Ojeda, and the Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the Revolution, Ramiro Valdés Menéndez.
