Zimbabwe, Cuba advocate for strengthening parliamentary ties

Harare, Mar 4 (Prensa Latina) Jacob Mudenda, Speaker of Zimbabwe's National Assembly, and Esteban Lazo Hernandez, President of Cuba's National People's Power Assembly (ANPP) and the Council of State, advocated on Tuesday for strengthening bilateral legislative ties.

On the last day of his official visit to this nation, Mudenda showed his Cuban guest the new Parliament headquarters on a tour of several meeting halls.

The two leaders exchanged experiences on the work of their respective parliaments and planned new actions to strengthen legislative links.

Lazo thanked his counterpart for the gesture and highlighted the results of his visit, during which President Emmerson Mnangagwa received him.

Mnangagwa reiterated the rejection of the US blockade and Cuba’s inclusion in Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list.

The Cuban ANPP president expressed his opposition to the unilateral coercive measures also imposed on Zimbabwe.

Cuban Ambassador to Zimbabwe Susellys Perez Mesa, Jose Ramon Monteagudo, member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), and Fernando Gonzalez, Hero of the Republic and President of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) accompanied Lazo during this visit.

The visit included a tribute to the historic leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, before the monument built in the street named after him.

Lazo and his entourage also visited the Museum of African Liberation and led a solidarity act on the 45th anniversary of bilateral relations.
