"I have come to a land of friends and brothers," said Army Corps General Leopoldo Cintra Frias, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Party and Minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba, who arrived yesterday  to Caracas on a working visit.
General-in-Chief Vladimir Padrino López, Minister of People's Power for Defense, said during the welcoming ceremony at Simon Bolivar International Airport that it was "a pride and high honor for Venezuela" to host his Cuban counterpart amid a historical situation such as "the commemoration of the 194th anniversary of the Battle of Carabobo, and the constant challenge of maintaining the path of democracy, justice, peace and this draft of country called Bolivarian Revolution".
"It's a debt I had," said the Hero of the Republic of Cuba, who pleaded excited about the visit he will make to the land of Bolivar and Chavez, which he did not visit since 56 years ago when he accompanied Fidel and Raul in 1959.
