HAVANA, Nov 25 (ACN) A Cuban delegation headed by Congressman Andres Castro arrived in Paris to strengthen parliamentary ties between the Caribbean island and France, where the delegation will carry out an intense program.

The president of the Education, Culture, Science, Technology and Environment Commission of the Cuban National Assembly of People's Power will be accompanied by legislators Felix Julio Alfonso and Pablo Marichal, and the official Yuniel Flores.
The working agenda will take place in the French capital after a brief visit to Marseille, where they will hold talks with local authorities, businessmen and parliamentarian Francois-Michel Lambert, president of the France-Cuba Friendship Group in the National Assembly.
In Paris, Cubans will visit the Assembly and the Senate, chambers where they will exchange views with MPs from different political forces, including the government movement ¨La Republique En Marche¨ and the left.
The Cuban officials are expected to share details about the reality of their country, the legislative actions after the new Constitution, which came into force last April, and the social and economic impact of the blockade imposed by the United States 60 years ago.
