Galicia to Foster Bilateral Cooperation with Cuba

Havana, Jan 25 (ACN) The vice president of the Galician parliament said the Nationalist Block (BNG) is interested in establishing more concrete ties with Cuba as an expression of solidarity.

Tarexia Paz, who is visiting Cuba accompanied by representatives of the Galician Nationalist Block, said the delegation members have been impressed with the ability of Cuban society to involve all citizens in its education and health programs, which is one of the keys to the success of the island in these areas.

On Wednesday, the Galician group met with Fernando Remirez de Estenoz, secretary of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party. Fernandez said, "[This visit] strengthens us, and gives us more optimism to defend Cuba, in Galicia and throughout Spain."

Remirez de Estenoz spoke about the historic ties between Cuban and Galician families and offered members of the delegation extensive information on several aspects of political and social life on the island.

The Galician delegation also met with Jose R. Fernandez, vice president of the Council of Ministers; and Ramon Pez Ferro, president of the Cuban parliament's International Relations Commission.

In the Havana municipality of Cerro the Galician parliamentarians were given an ample explanation of how the different local, provincial and national legislative bodies work in Cuba. The visitors also toured a local polyclinic before attending a gathering at the University of Havana.
