Mexico City, October 1 (RHC)-- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel, highlighted in Mexico City that his counterpart Andrés Manuel López Obrador has been one of the leaders who has most supported Cuba.

“Mexico is a strategic country for Cuba, with many milestones in shared history,” said the Cuban leader during a meeting with representatives of the Cuban state mission in Mexico City.

He said that López Obrador has always been looking for ways through which Cuba can get out of the intensified U.S. blockade of the island, and recalled his ethics and permanent solidarity with the Caribbean nation.

Díaz-Canel assured that “one day historians will have to write the history of López Obrador as a sincere friend of Cuba.”

One of the most outstanding examples of these close bilateral ties was the prompt help of Mexican firefighters and rescuers who arrived in the western province of Matanzas in 2022, to help extinguish the fire at the Supertanker Base.

In addition, Mexico provides constant support to Cuba in its fight against the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States, providing help with medical supplies and food to mitigate the combined effects of the coercive measures imposed on the island.

Some three thousand Cuban doctors have been deployed in 23 Mexican states and nearly 200 professors train future health specialists in the sister country.

President Díaz-Canel arrived in Mexico City on Sunday to participate in the inauguration of Claudia Sheinbaum, the first female president of Mexico, who will be sworn in on Tuesday morning.  (Source: Prensa Latina)
