On his last day, the head of government held a meeting with a representation of the Caribbean nation’s health collaborators in this country, to whom he expressed his recognition for their meritorious work.

While the enemies of the Revolution try to discredit your work, you bring health to the world, said Marrero in the exchange with the minister of the sector, José Angel Portal and the ambassador in Brazzaville, Indira Napoles.

The island’s medical collaboration in the Congo dates back to 1965 and since then more than 500 professionals have worked in Congolese territory in the care of more than 631,000 patients.

Currently, the Cuban brigade is present in four regions of the African country.

The Congolese Prime Minister, Anatole Collinet Makosso, bade farewell to his Cuban counterpart at the stroke of midday (local time), accompanied by the Foreign Affairs Minister, Jean-Claude Gakosso, and of International Cooperation, Denis Christel Sassou-N’guesso.

The Cuban head of government arrived in Brazzaville last Monday and during his stay was received in audience by President Denis Sassou-N’Guesso, with whom he discussed the historic ties of friendship between the two countries and future projections for the strengthening of cooperation.

During the talks, the parties reviewed milestones of the more than 60 years of relations, which have been marked by the struggle for the emancipation of the peoples, collaboration and the training of professionals, always based on fraternity and mutual respect.

They also talked about a new projection for cooperation between the two countries, which would strengthen joint work in the field of health, but which would extend to other areas.

Marrero talked about the meeting that both parties agreed on updating the full potential of cooperation in areas such as technology, human resources training in Cuba, tourism, culture, science and innovation, and in the field of defense, among others.
