Those of us who know Cuba well in Denmark love it for its humanist values ​​and ideas, while the press and in the political sphere they do not stop lying about it, hence the relevance of this visit, he told Prensa Latina.

According to Dr. Corria, who completed a mission in Saint Kitts and Nevis in the fight against the pandemic, the island has a lot to tell in the field of solidarity aid to other peoples, which she recalled that it comes from decades before the creation of the Henry Reeve contingent.

Over the years of voluntary and altruistic assistance, we have become an army of white coats ready to help wherever we are needed, she said.

The galena agreed on the importance of sharing with sectors of Danish society the truth of a country that is growing in the face of difficulties and the US blockade to save lives anywhere on the planet.

For her part, nurse Chacón, who was in Qatar, expressed her expectations of interacting with Danes about the solidarity of the island, recognized by authorities and inhabitants of dozens of nations, as well as by multilateral organizations.
