Mrs. President:
We are so happy and take comfort in the fact that the United Nations General Assembly is convening a peace summit, and that such summit has been named after Nelson Mandela.
Less than 30 years ago, beloved Madiba was a political prisoner in the apartheid jails, serving a life sentence as a result of his noble struggle for justice and equality among all men and women in South Africa, where a white minority was subjecting the black majority to the scorn of segregation.
The new ambassador of Cuba to Georgia, Alfredo Nieves Portuondo, presented his credentials in a solemn audience chaired by the president of this Caucasian nation, Giorgi Margvelashvili.
The ceremony of delivery of the credentials was held at the Presidential Palace in Tbilisi, capital of Georgia.
After the delivery of the credentials, the Georgian head of state shared a talk with 10 other concurrent ambassadors, who also presented Credentials.
