Havana, September 26 (RHC)-- The Prime Minister of the People´s Republic of China, Li Keqiang, wrapped up a three-day official visit to Cuba. Keqiang was seen off Monday morning at Havana's José Martí airport by Cuban Vice-President Miguel Diaz-Canel.

The distinguished visitor took the opportunity to express his satisfaction with this, his first visit to Cuba, his admiration for the patriotism of the Cuban people, and praised the island’s achievements in various fields.

The leader of the Cuban Revolution and the Chinese Premier recalled the historic ties that unite Cuba and China, symbolized by the participation of fighters of Chinese origin during Cuba’s wars of independence and liberation, and the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries over fifty-five years ago, when the socialist character of the Cuban Revolution had not yet been declared.
