Kingston, Jamaica, 9 March 2020. March 9 in the morning, the Counsellor of the Embassy of Cuba, Mr. Ricardo Calvo, and the Vice President of the Association of Cuban Residents in Jamaica, Mr. Osvaldo Cárdenas, paid a courtesy call on Beverly and Joseph Manley, ex-wife and son, respectively, of former Prime Minister of Jamaica and a great friend of Cuba, Michel Manley.
During the visit, held in a fraternal and friendly atmosphere, the hosts shared exciting experiences of their numerous meetings with Commander in Chief Fidel Castro. They gave beautiful testimonies about the profound friendship that united him to Michael Manley and offered interesting comments on the imprint of Fidel and the Cuban Revolution on Jamaica.
In turn, visitors took the opportunity to thank - through Beverly and Joseph - the entire Manley family for keeping Fidel's memory alive in Jamaica and for its manifest willingness to contribute with testimonies and documents to the enrichment of the fund of the Fidel Castro centre, a Cuban institution of a political and public nature, aimed to spread the thought, work and legacy of the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution.
