Havana, Cuba — A ship carrying humanitarian aid from Mexico docked in Cuba on Monday, as Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel thanked Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum for her solidarity with the Cuban people.
A second vessel from Uruguay also arrived at Cuban ports with supplies for the island nation.
“On behalf of the Cuban people, we express our deepest gratitude for the new shipment of solidarity aid from Mexico and Uruguay, two nations for which we have enormous affection,” Díaz-Canel wrote on social media.
Sheinbaum had announced the aid shipment amid a severe humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the U.S. oil blockade against Cuba.
“This donation, which arrives in very difficult days for Cuba due to the direct and multidimensional impact of the U.S. blockade on the daily lives of our people, is a living testament to the historic solidarity between our peoples and the principles of humanism, cooperation, and integration that should unite the region,” Díaz-Canel said.
He also expressed recognition for Sheinbaum’s leadership and firm commitment, as well as for the Uruguayan government for joining the initiative.
