Zimbabwe VP Winds Up Visit to Cuba

Havana, Sept 13 (acn) "I have learned a lot about the resistance, 
commitment and unity of the Cuban people," said Zimbabwe's Vice 
President Joyce Teurai Ropa Mujuru on Wednesday at the end of a 
five-day official visit to the island.

Speaking to reporters before departing at the Jose Marti International 
airport in Havana, the visitor noted that she learned an important 
lesson on how perseverance and people's unity can lead to the 
fulfillment of any objectives.

Ropa Mujuru added that during her meeting with Cuban VP Esteban lazo, 
they exchanged opinions about the realities in her country and in Cuba 
and about the situation in Africa and Latin America in general.

She recalled that Zimbabwe has been under constant imperial pressures 
and that her people should learn from the Cuban nation, which has been 
suffering a US financial, trade and economic blockade for almost fifty 
years.

She also praised the important role played by women on the island 
thanks to education and political will of the Cuban government and the 
Communist Party.

During the last day of her visit, the VP visited the pharmaceutical 
laboratories of LABIOFAM and met with Foreign Minister Felipe Perez 
Roque.
