Puerto Rican Ana Maris Jimenez considered the phrase that Cuba and Puerto Rico are “two wings of a bird” to be highly accurate, and pointed out that both countries, suffering from the same empire, call for a united struggle.
Bolivian lawyer Vladimir Ochoa stressed that since he arrived in Cuba he has perceived a high level of socialist consciousness that makes it possible to unify bonds of fraternal friendship under real relations. “That allows us to raise and capture the feeling of humanity as the greatest contribution. I depart (Cuba) transformed with a feeling of humanity and habits to fight for just causes,” he said.
The delegation also visited a series of historical and cultural places in the city of Santa Clara.
