On Monday, Cuban Ambassador in that country, Carlos Ernesto Rodríguez; the foreign minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Keysal Peters; and the general director of the Eastern Caribbean Group of Companies, Robert Cato, bade farewell to the ship that is transporting 235 metric tons of flour, which is expected to arrive in the port of Mariel in the coming days.
