Pacific Islands Remember Fidel Castro

The General Director of Bilateral Affairs of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Emilio Lozada, recalled Friday at the 50 Pacific Islands Forum the internationalist vocation of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.

Castro (1926-2016) was the forefather of Cuba's health collaboration with the small island states of the Pacific, a tweet by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted.

Lozada heads the Cuban delegation participating in the event inaugurated on August 13. In the context of the Forum, the official met with the Prime Minister of Fiji, Josaia V Bainimarama.

In addition, he spoke with the President of Kiribati, Teneti Maamao, with whom he reviewed the work of the Cuban Medical Brigade in that country.

The 50th edition of the Pacific Islands Forum offers a key space for dialogue and political exchange in the Pacific region, bringing together 14 small island states.
