HAVANA, Cuba, Apr 6 (acn) The Communist Party of Italy sent a message to Army General Raul Castro, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba, and to Miguel Diaz-Canel, Cuba´s President, to express gratitude for the assistance of a medical brigade from the Caribbean island to the Lombardy region.
The letter praises the valuable Cuban cooperation, which came to the aid of the Italian public health system in a serious moment of national emergency, reported Granma newspaper.

The final lines of the message emphasize that thanks to Cubans, "also in Italy it has been understood that capitalism supplies the superfluous, while socialism gives what is necessary ".
