Cuban president to visit Mexico this week
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel will visit Mexico this week to participate in the Mexican Independence Day festivities and the VI Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celiac).
Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) confirmed this Saturday to local media that Díaz-Canel will be present at the celebrations for the 211th anniversary of the beginning of Mexico's Independence, scheduled for next Thursday.
Likewise, the president of the largest Antillean island will attend the VI Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), held next Saturday in Mexico City.
Foreign Ministry sources indicated that the Cuban president's visit will be made public in detail in the next few days since the Mexican Presidency still coordinates the agenda. This will be Díaz-Canel's third visit to Mexico. The first time was for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's inauguration on December 1, 2018.
The third trip took place in 2019 when the Cuban head of state paid an official visit and held a meeting with López Obrador in the capital's National Palace.
Last April, the Mexican president and Díaz-Canel spoke via telephone, a moment that served to underline their intention to consolidate cooperative relations and jointly face the COVID-19 pandemic.
