The Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez, expressed this Saturday his support and solidarity with the Government of Mexico in the face of the heavy rains that have left at least 40 dead and damage in 117 municipalities of the North American country.
“We express our solidarity and support to the Government and people of Mexico in the face of the victims and damages caused by the floods that affected several States of that sister nation,” stated the Cuban Foreign Minister on his social networks.
Rodríguez’s message included “heartfelt condolences to family and friends of the victims.”
The rains are associated with Tropical Storm Raymond, which formed last Thursday off the coast of the state of Guerrero, according to the National Meteorological Service.
The phenomenon has caused intense rains in several states, in conjunction with the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla and other systems in the Atlantic Ocean.
Until now, a dozen people have also been confirmed missing due to the landslide of hills and the flooding of rivers that have generated severe flooding in the central states of Hidalgo, Puebla, Querétaro and in the eastern state of Veracruz.
