HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 20 (ACN) The presence in Türkiye of Cuban collaborators from the "Henry Reeve" Brigade is an expression of the Cuban people's feeling of solidarity, Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla affirmed today.
On Twitter, the Cuban diplomat stressed that the departure to the Eurasian country of 32 health professionals from Cuba demonstrates the accompaniment and sympathies of the Caribbean nation towards the Turkish people, after the earthquakes of this February 6, of magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 on the Richter scale.
