Esteban Lazo Hernandez said during his visit that Zimbabwe and Cuba must keep fighting to help their people live better lives despite unfair sanctions from the United States and Western nations. Hernandez leads the Cuban National Assembly and talked to reporters in Harare after meeting with President Mnangagwa. He asked both countries to build stronger business ties beyond their good political bonds. He cares most about making life better for people in both countries.
Hernandez thanked Zimbabwe for standing with Cuba against what he called acts by powerful countries. He talked about how the US has called Cuba a helper of terror, causing big problems for the Cuban people. These blocks hurt their money and stop access to banks, making daily life harder for everyone. Hernandez stayed strong, saying Cuba has faced these blocks for 63 years without giving up. He believes that with help from African friends, especially Zimbabwe, Cuba will keep moving forward despite these hard times.
Hernandez and President Mnangagwa discussed many ways their countries can work together. They built on the friendship started by Cuban leader Fidel Castro and Zimbabwe founder Robert Mugabe. Both leaders blamed powerful Western countries for putting blocks in Zimbabwe's growth. Hernandez said they want to strengthen ties between their parties, lawmakers, and leaders. He pushed for making trade ties as good as their political ones.
Hernandez spoke about the close bond between the people of Zimbabwe and Cuba that has grown over the years. He said more than 3,000 Cubans have come to Zimbabwe to help. Just as many people from Zimbabwe have studied in Cuba, showing how close the nations are. Cuba has taught thousands of math and science teachers in Zimbabwe and helped make medicine. This teaching happens at Bindura University. Both countries have sent leaders to visit each other to find new ways to work together. At the meeting were Jacob Mudenda, Amon Murwira, Webster Shamu, and Cuban Ambassador Suseleys Perez Mesa.
