BELMOPAN, Belize – The government of Belize hosted a historic visit to Belize by H.E. Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, first secretary of the Cuban Communist Party and president of the Republic of Cuba on February 12, 2023.

The programme included a special sitting of the National Assembly, a bilateral meeting with H.E. Dame Froyla Tzalam, governor-general of Belize, and prime minister John Briceño. During the meeting, president Díaz-Canel spoke of deeper bilateral cooperation in health, including a medical treatment breakthrough for treating foot lesions arising from diabetes complications.

Rodrigo Malmierca Díaz, minister of foreign trade and foreign investment; and H.E. José Ángel Portal Miranda, minister of public health.
