MADRID, Spain.- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel will meet with his Mexican counterpart Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) in the State of Campeche, during his visit to the Aztec country this weekend.
As indicated by López Obrador this Friday in his daily intervention for the press, he will thank Díaz-Canel for sending Cuban doctors.
“We are going to have a health meeting because there are Cuban doctors in Campeche and in other parts of the country, and more than 500 general practitioners and specialists, and we are going to thank the support that the people, the sister government of Cuba, are providing,” quoted the Spanish news agency EFE.
“We are going to have this meeting. Tomorrow, Saturday, President Díaz-Canel arrives in the morning, we are going to receive him in Campeche, we are going to visit the archaeological zone of Edzná in Campeche,” AMLO pointed out.
During his stay in Mexico, Díaz-Canel will also visit the construction works of the Mayan Train, a project with which the Government of that nation seeks to promote tourism in the southern zone and for which Havana has exported stone.
For his part, the Cuban ruler announced in Twitter: “We will be in Campeche this weekend to meet the dear president @lopezobradorand continue to strengthen relations between Cuba and Mexico, which are more than endearing”.

According to the most recent data from the Mexican Government, 552 Cuban doctors are working in that country, by virtue of the agreements signed with the island’s regime.
since it was announced the shipment of Cuban doctors to Mexico, the agreement has generated great controversy. Opponents of the AMLO government have questioned it for financing the Havana dictatorship by receiving these health professionals.
The hiring of Cuban doctors has previously been criticized in countries such as Brazil and Venezuela, due to the working conditions in which the doctors work and the violations of rights to which they are subjected.
