The Cuban Ambassador Pedro Luis Despaigne González dismissed at the Kotoka International Airport of Accra a representation of the Ghanaian delegation that will attend the 6th African Solidarity Meeting with Cuba, which will meet in Abuja, capital of Nigeria, between September 23 and 25.
The Ghanaian delegation is made up of eight representatives of parties and organizations that are part of the Solidarity Movement with Cuba, the leaders of the Socialist Forum of Ghana (SFG), Mr. Kwesi Pratt Jnr., Mr. Kweretwie Opoku and Mr Nana Yaa Appiaw Kubi; the National Organizer of the women's section of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, Dr. Mrs. Hanna Louisa Bissiw, and the deputy director of International Relations of that political party, Dr. Karl Mark Arhin; the President of the Union of Teachers and Education Workers, Mr. Peter K. Lumor; the representative of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP), Mr. Frederick Aboagye and the Secretary, Cuban Solidarity Movement, Mr. Robert Dela Mawuenyegah.
Ghanaian delegates are the expression of the mosaic of friends that Cuba has created in Ghana in the 60 years of relations, which were inaugurated by two great figures of the continent's liberation struggle, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, the Commander in Chief, Fidel Castro. The members of the delegation represent several generations of Ghanaians, including two graduates from Cuban classrooms, Dr Mrs Bissiw and Dr Arhin. Everyone has in common love and solidarity for Cuba.
The representatives of Ghana are carriers of messages of solidarity with Cuba sent by former Ghanaian Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and John Dramani Mahama. In Nigeria, the delegates of the region will raise their voices of condemnation to the criminal and genocidal blockade that the Cuban people suffer for more than five decades, which constitutes the main obstacle to the development of Cuba.
