Pretoria, August 25, 2023.- The President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, traveled today from South Africa to Mozambique, where he will pay an official visit.
During his stay in South Africa, Díaz-Canel developed an intense program of activities, which included a well-deserved tribute to the South African leader Nelson Mandela.
