Africa China News Pays Courtesy Visit to Cuban Ambassador

In a formal display of cultural exchange and mutual respect between China and Cuba, the Chairman/CEO of Africa China News (ACN), Mr. Zheng Xiaopeng, on Wednesday, November 13, paid a courtesy visit to Mrs. Miriam Morales, the Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to Nigeria, at the Embassy office in Abuja.

At the meeting, the Ambassador welcomed the Africa China News team led by the CEO and expressed her love for Nigerian culture, food and dance.

”This is the second time I have been honoured to serve as Ambassador of Cuba to Nigeria; my first time was from 2011-2016. I also wish to commend the respect Africans have for one another”, the Ambassador said.

Mr. Zheng Xiaopeng while responding to the Ambassador, hailed her vast knowledge and love for African culture and also used the opportunity to reel out his experiences in Nigeria and Africa at large.

”I have spent 15 splendid years on the African continent and 10 of those wonderful years were in Nigeria. As a Board Member of Africa China News, my passion for promoting and showcasing African culture to other countries of the globe remains unrivaled”.

Meanwhile, the Ambassador re-emphasized the strong cordial relationship between Cuba and China, noting the Chinese programs in Cuba and the One China Town in Cuba where they practice Chinese culture.

The meeting culminated with the Ambassador intimating the Africa China News team with some historical status, flowers and their meanings. These included a Cuban National Hero, Jose Julian Marti Perez, Fidel Castro, the late Cuban political leader who transformed Cuba into a communist country and the Mariposa, the National Flower of Cuba, which symbolizes resistance and independence among others.

This courtesy visit marks a significant milestone in strengthening not only the cultural ties between Africa and Cuba, but also between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Cuba.
