We shall continue to honour and strengthen the bonds of friendship that unite our nations with Cuba
Remarks by the African Group of Ambassadors in Cuba to mark the Africa Day 2020.

On this new celebration of Africa Day we renew our friendship and fraternity with the sister continent
Message of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the occasion of Africa Day
This year we commemorate Africa Day in Cuba under exceptional conditions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This, however, will not prevent that such a relevant event as the foundation on May 25, 1963 of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), renamed African Union (AU) in 2002 be celebrated as we Cuban always do.
