Peru-Cuba Parliamentary League ratifies solidarity with Cuba

The Peru-Cuba Parliamentary Friendship League on Friday ratified its solidarity with the country and its recognition for the Cuban collaboration, highlighting the work carried out by Cuban healthcare professionals in the fight against Covid-19.

'Cuba will be able to continue counting on the support of the League,' said its president, Lenin Checco, in a virtual meeting for the installation of a new leadership, integrated by legislators of diverse tendencies.

The parliamentarian from the Broad Front party announced the preparation of a program of activities to promote friendship between both countries and peoples.

The Cuban Ambassador Sergio Gonzalez, who participated in the meeting as a guest, noted the Parliamentary League's contribution to the good Peruvian-Cuban relations.

He expressed his country's gratitude for the legislators' support to Cuba against the US economic, commercial and financial blockade and the nomination of the Cuban International Medical Contingent Henry Reeve for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Gonzalez highlighted the rejection by Cuba and the international community of the Caribbean country's inclusion by then US President Donald Trump in a unilateral list of countries that practice or sponsor terrorism.
