The veteran leader expressed gratitude to Cuba and the historic leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, for the solidarity and generosity they have always offered their country. “We greatly appreciate the Cuban contribution to our development, for the thousands of young Zimbabwean graduates in Cuba, as well as the work of Cuban doctors and professors in our hospitals and universities.” “Cuba has given us solidarity despite the hard US blockade that has caused so much suffering to the Cuban people. Cuba has confronted the most powerful country in the world, it is an example of resistance and firmness for the Third World countries.”
