Cairo, April 24, 2025. The Cuban ambassador to Egypt, Alexander Pellicer Moraga, signed this morning, at the nunciature headquarters in this capital, the book of condolences for the death of His Holiness Pope Francis.
In his message, the Cuban diplomat conveyed on behalf of the Cuban people and government the most heartfelt condolences to the Holy See and all Catholics around the world.
