The Cuban diplomat paid a courtesy call on President Geingob on the occasion of the end of his diplomatic mission in Namibia.
The Namibian President congratulated Ambassador Mazola for his excellent work results and for the contributions made to the strengthening of historical relations between both countries.
He also highlighted the historical ties between the two nations, cemented by Fidel Castro and Sam Nujoma. He thanked Cuba once again for the contribution made during the struggle for the liberation of Namibia from the racist regime of apartheid and after its independence.
In this sense, he recalled the decisive contribution that represented the victory of Cuito Cuarnavale for the Namibian liberation and the bravery and integrity of the Cuban soldiers.
