On Twitter, the president confirmed that he would visit Algeria, Türkiye, Russia, and China in response to official invitations from the leaders of those countries.

The head of State twitted that during the meetings, he would talk about essential issues for Cuba, mainly those related to the electro-energy sector.

Díaz-Canel noted that the program responds to Cuba’s political and economic priorities, as well as the efforts to alleviate the effects of a post-pandemic crisis that is affecting the whole world and is worsening for the country due to the United States blockade.

Díaz-Canel stressed that during these days, he and his delegation would work intensively to strengthen economic and political ties and continue to boost Cuba’s development.

The Cuban delegation also includes Deputy Prime Ministers Ricardo Cabrisas and Alejandro Gil, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, Ministers of Foreign Trade and Investment Rodrigo Malmierca, Energy and Mines Minister Vicente de la O, and Public Health Minister José Angel Portal Miranda.

It is Díaz-Canel’s first international presidential tour following the Covid-19 pandemic.
