Cited by a LAASP press release, Elisa Salvador underlined the fact that Angolans and Cubans are linked by deep historical ties since the beginning of Angola’s independence.
For the head of LAASP, this bond is reflected in the relationship of friendship and solidarity between LAASP and the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP).

“The relationship was already sealed in the different exchanges and assistance between the two institutions”, expressed the president of LAASP, underlining the institution’s participation in different events and actions of solidarity with Cuba.
In her speech, the leader repudiated and considered inhuman the economic and financial blockade imposed against Cuba, more than 60 years ago, by the United States of America.
