Havana, April 30 (Prensa Latina) Members of the 18th International May Day Brigade of Voluntary Work and Solidarity with Cuba visited several state and social institutions in Cuba today.
Since their arrival in the Caribbean territory, the brigade members from 16 countries have made numerous trips to learn about the consequences of the economic blockade imposed by the White House on the Cuban people.
During this day’s tour, brigade members from the United States and Germany arrived at the Azumat Logistics Company.
This organization was recognized as a National Vanguard for “its favorable results in fulfilling its missions, despite the current situation in the country,” said Ulises Guilarte, secretary general of the Cuban Workers’ Central Union (CTC).
In an exclusive interview with Prensa Latina, José R. Martínez, the company’s Director of Information and Communications, stated that the company aims to improve and advance the implementation of its Strategic Development Programs; therefore, “this distinction is more than an achievement, it represents a commitment and an opportunity.”
The directors of the institution, whose social objective is to market and distribute products and supplies to the entire Cuban sugar industry, participated in another meeting with foreign visitors, where they explained its operation and answered questions on topics such as its internal policies and salary system.
At the event, Guilarte emphasized to the delegation the need for collaboration and support among countries, the resilience of the Cuban people in the face of the tightening of economic sanctions imposed by the United States, and reiterated the invitation to participate in the May Day Parade in Cuba.
Other delegations from the internationalist brigade carried out activities that included visits to other companies located in the capital, such as the Cuban International Insurance Company SA and the Prodal Food Production Company.
The more than 300 brigade members will extend their stay on the Caribbean island until May 16.
