Havana, Dec 5 (ACN) Barbados’ Minister of Sports, Youths and Community Empowerment, Charles Griffith, made a five-day visit to Cuba this week, at the invitation of the island’s Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation (INDER).

While in Cuba, the Barbadian official visited the Center for Sports Research (CIDC), where he met with directives and officials from the Cubadeportes Trade Society, and carried out other activities on his agenda.
