The Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on its website that during the visit, slated until next Sunday, Emmerson Mnangagwa will hold official talks with Cuban authorities and carry out other activities.

Cuba and Zimbabwe have maintained fraternal and historic relations since April 20, 1980, which have been based on mutual support and respect.

As a result of collaboration, nearly 2,000 Zimbabwean students have graduated from a number of majors at Cuban universities, and hundreds of Cuban professionals have offered their knowledge and expertise to that African nation.

The authorities of that country have maintained an unwavering stance against the US economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba.
