With deep regret, our people have learned of the death of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, His Excellency Dr. Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi. For this reason, the President of the Republic of Cuba decreed an Official Mourning, from 6:00 a.m. on May 21 to 12:00 p.m. on May 22, 2024.
During his term as President of that country since 2021, he contributed decisively to the development and strengthening of relations of friendship and cooperation between both nations.
The Cuban people and Government accompany Iran in this moment of pain and express their confidence that the Islamic Revolution will continue and will know how to recover from this unfortunate event.
During the duration of the Official Mourning, the National Flag must be raised at half-mast in public buildings and military institutions.
