New York, November 28, 2018. The Director of International Relations of the Ministry of Public Health of Cuba (MINSAP, Spanish abbreviation), Dr. Néstor Marimón, attended today the opening ceremony of the Global South-South Development (GSSD) Expo 2018 to be held at the United Nations between November 28 and 30.
During the past few months, the US State Department has been concocting a new pretext to affect bilateral diplomatic relations, associated to the granting of the diplomatic and official visas required by the staff of the respective embassies in Washington and Havana to perform their duties. The maneuver consists in claiming that Cuba is hindering the granting of visas for designated officials at the US embassy in Cuba, which allegedly hinders the work of that diplomatic mission.
