A military band performed the national anthems of the two countries.

Officials from Cuba and Campeche waited for the visitor on a stage near the parking lot of the Conviasa airplane where the Cuban president was traveling.

Díaz-Canel came here responding to an invitation by López Obrador, who received him at the airport.

The Mexican president thanked Díaz-Canel and the Cuban people for sending doctors to collaborate in the development of the assistance plans, with which Mexico seeks to put itself on a par with the most advanced European countries in the field of public health.

Thus, the Cuban head of State begins his fourth official visit to this nation this Saturday to discuss with López Obrador the issues of collaboration in public healthcare and the supply of ballast for the Mayan train.

The two presidents will also address issues related to the US blockade against Cuba, in which the Mexican president is a persistent critic and an advocate that the US government lifts it immediately and without preconditions.
