Cuban President winds up official visit to Namibia and African tour

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Sunday ended his visit to Namibia and his tour of Africa, during which he visited three other nations from that continent, official sources reported on Monday.

The head of State and the delegation accompanying him was seen off in the Namibian capital, Windhoek, by President Hage Geingo, with whom he held official talks, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez reported on the social network X, formerly Twitter.

Previously, Díaz-Canel participated in the BRICS Summit (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), and in that context, he paid official visits to Angola, Mozambique and Namibia.

In Windhoek, Díaz-Canel was the guest of honor at the ceremony on the Heroes’ Day, and paid tribute to heroes and heroines of Namibia, Angola and Cuba, “who paved the way to independence with their blood, and ended the apartheid regime,” the President said.

He also received, from the hands of his Namibian counterpart, the “Order of the Most Ancient Welwitschia Mirabilis,” Namibia’s highest decoration.

Bilateral agreements were signed to strengthen mutual ties.
