Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and Bolivian President Luis Arce Catacora held a meeting in Havana on Saturday as part of a working visit to Cuba at the invitation of the Cuban Head of State.

In an atmosphere of friendship, both presidents reviewed issues on the bilateral agenda to boost cooperation in areas that had been defined by both during the official visit made by Arce in December 2021.  Díaz-Canel thanked the Bolivian leader for the recent donation of food sent by his country in support of the populations affected by the heavy rains recorded during the month of June in eastern Cuba.

According to the website of the Presidency of Cuba, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla also participated in the meeting on the Cuban side.
