This Central American president also visited the Angola and Cuba school, in the municipality of Cazenga, built in 1988 by Cuban technicians, within the framework of bilateral cooperation. At that institution, he offered books and planted a tree.
Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez was also in the National Assembly, where he spoke in a formal session reserved for him. Earlier, he went to the António Agostinho Neto Memorial, to pay homage to the Founder of the Nation.
