Harare, September 1. - Zimbabwean friends of Cuba and graduates from the island announced today the launch of the Solidarity Campaign with the Caribbean country in the presence of Ambassador Honorable Mrs. Susellys Pérez Mesa.
The Foreign Ministry's audio-visual dedicated to the Centennial Year of the Historic Leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, began the evening with moving remarks from the Head of Mission, referring to bilateral relations, the closeness between the two peoples, and Havana's support for the liberation of Africa and, in particular, Zimbabwe.

Also, the coordinator of "We have to love Cuba", Amado Riol, addressed the supporters with a brief review of the work carried out by this project with the support of friends from all over the world, protagonists of similar campaigns, especially with donations of medicines.
The participants evoked the figure of the leader Fidel Castro and the decisive role of the Caribbean nation in the African libertarian struggle, the training of more than three thousand professionals from this African country and the sending to Zimbabwe of medical and educational brigades since the 1980s.
