Cuba’s President Raul Castro arrived on Saturday in Caracas on an official visit at the invitation of his
Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chavez, who welcomed the Cuban leader at the Simon Bolivar International Airport.
Following his arrival in Venezuela, Raul Castro laid a wreath at the tomb of Latin American Independence Hero Simon Bolivar to later hold official talks with the Venezuelan President. Just after laying the wreath, the two heads of state toured the Plaza Bolivar square and greeted the people at the place.
Raul Castro extended the Venezuelan people greetings from the people of Cuba and Revolution leader Fidel Castro.
Upon his arrival in Caracas, the Cuban President recalled his stay in that city nearly half a century ago. He said “we are here once again like we did some 55 years ago when I came as a student, and the first thing we did was paying homage to Simon Bolivar, the Liberator; it is the first thing we will do today.”
Hugo Chavez extended Raul Castro the warmest welcome and said “it is an honor to have you with us; we are welcoming you as well as we are welcoming Fidel Castro and the Cuban people.” He added that in receiving the Cuban President, Venezuela is also welcoming the Cuban rebels who fought on the Sierra Maestra mountain range and the 50th Anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, “which is an example for all our sister nations.”
The first visit abroad by Raul Castro as head of state will further strengthen excellent bilateral relations between the Cuban and the Venezuelan governments and people, PL news reported.
After concluding his visit to Venezuela, the Cuban President will head for Brazil to participate at the Latin American and Caribbean Summit on Integration and Development, to be held December 16 and 17, in Salvador de Bahia.
