On his X profile, the head of State expressed sorrow for the accident, as well as his sincere appreciation for the Pope.
By virtue of that affection that he has proven to reciprocate, we wish him the quickest recovery from his injuries, Díaz-Canel wrote.
According to the Vatican press office, Pope Francis fell on Thursday at the Casa Santa Marta and got a bruise on his right forearm but no fractures. His arm was immobilized as a precaution.
