Peruvian Foreign Minister Jose Garcia Belaunde thanked Cuba for the donation of five tons of medicine for victims of a cold spell that recently hit the Andean region of that nation. He spoke at a ceremony held at the national stadium in Lima.
The Cuban ambassador to Peru, Luis Delfin Perez, explained that these newly made, high quality Cuban-made medicines are useful for treating respiratory problems and have a long working life, reported the PL news agency.
Delfin Perez also referred to Cuba's solidarity with the rest of the world, specifically with Peru, and recalled the assistance provided after the devastating earthquake that shook the Andean nation in 1970.
The 1,000 thousand blankets sent by Argentina were also praised by Belaunde, while Argentinean business representative Jorge Vinuela assured that his country would send more supplies depending on the situation in the coming days.
