A delegation from the Mexican Agency for International Cooperation for Development (AMEXCID) visited the city of Santiago de Cuba , capital of the province of the same name located in the southeast of the Caribbean island, on Sunday, May 17 , with a view to strengthening the historical ties of solidarity and brotherhood between both nations.
The visit, of high political and symbolic value, began with a tribute to Cuban heroes at the Santa Ifigenia Heritage Cemetery. The ceremony was attended by Cuban Deputy Prime Minister Oscar Pérez Oliva Fraga and the Executive Director of AMEXCID, Alejandra del Moral Vela.
Also in attendance were the governor of Santiago de Cuba, Manuel Falcón Hernández, and the Mexican ambassador to Cuba, Miguel Díaz Reynoso. They were joined by ministers, deputy ministers, and officials from the Party and the Government.
During the meeting, the Mexican delegation reaffirmed the willingness of its government to support Cuba on its path of resistance and development.
The highlight was the inauguration of the second phase of the “Sembrando Vida” (Sowing Life) project in the municipality of San Luis. The program, replicated in six additional municipalities, aims to strengthen food sovereignty and improve living conditions in rural Cuban communities, benefiting more than 15,000 farmers and their families.
The official visit of an AMEXCID delegation to the Caribbean island added a new chapter to the historical ties of solidarity and brotherhood between Mexico and Cuba.
The “Sowing Life” initiative is a tangible example of cooperation that translates into increased agricultural production and greater food security, directly impacting the local economy. It constitutes a concrete response and tangible relief in the face of the hostile environment of commercial, financial, and energy pressure , as well as the constant threats of military intervention promoted by imperial powers.
The day also commemorated the 67th anniversary of the Agrarian Reform Law, signed by Fidel Castro Ruz. This law transformed the social and economic structure of the Cuban peasantry.
This coincidence underscores the principle that the land and its fruits should serve the people. Cuba is a peaceful country that enjoys the support of nations like Mexico. Mexico has made it clear that it will never abandon the island, reaffirming that the bond between our peoples is stronger than any adversity.
