\"\"With the aim of boosting relations in the economic-social and partisan spheres, Cuban Vice President Salvador Vald\u00e9s Mesa visited Rwanda, where he was received by high-ranking local authorities.<\/p>\n

A landlocked country, with fertile and mountainous terrain, origin of the distinctive land of a thousand hills, Rwanda is located in East Africa, in the Great Lakes region.<\/p>\n

Vice President Vald\u00e9s Mesa stayed in Kigali, the capital, as part of a tour of four African countries.<\/p>\n

In Rwanda, the Cuban leader was received, among other personalities, by President Paul Kagame.<\/p>\n

The deputy head of state of the largest of the Antilles also met with the Prime Minister, Edouard Ngirente, authorities of the Senate and of the ruling Patriotic Front.<\/p>\n

With all his interlocutors, the visitor underlined the interest of the Caribbean nation to strengthen and take bilateral ties to the highest level.<\/p>\n

The hosts highlighted the training of Rwandan professionals in Cuba, particularly in medicine, as well as the work of brigades of these professionals at the beginning of the century.<\/p>\n

Precisely, the two parties evaluated future cooperation projects in health, an area that could illustrate what President Paul Kagame called the revival of relations.<\/p>\n

Rwanda is the scene of a plan sponsored by the UN World Food Program for the delivery of school meals, in which refined corn flour has been replaced by a more enriched whole-grain version.<\/p>\n

The country needs these children and adolescents to support the future, 28 years after a civil war, a confrontation of castes defined by the Belgian colonial power, provoked a genocide.<\/p>\n

In one of the smallest of the 54 nations of the continent, they are still trying to strengthen pacification and reconciliation, as part of a complex process that has turned Rwanda into a reference for economic growth and a platform for tourism promotion.<\/p>\n

Cuba seeks to activate ties with Rwanda and with that objective in mind, the highest level delegation in half a century of relations was present in Kigali.<\/p>\n

Cooperation and solidarity with African countries is part of the Caribbean nation’s government policy.<\/p>\n

Last August, Head of State Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel visited Angola, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa and in the latter country he participated in the BRICS summit in his capacity as president of the grouping of G-77 nations and China.<\/p>\n
