Nicaragua Awards Cuba Culture
Minister
Cuban Culture Minister Abel
Prieto was granted the Ruben
Dario Cultural Independence
Order here, from the hands of
Nicaraguan President Daniel
Ortega.
"I receive this order as
something that has to do with
what Cuba has done for the
cultural independence of our
territory, Latin America, and
the world," the official said
when thanking the Sandinista
government for its gesture.
The decoration took place
Saturday in Monimbo, a native
neighbourhood in Masaya, about
18.6 miles south of Managua, on
the occasion of the 29th
anniversary of the region's
uprising against the Somoza
tyranny.
Prieto said in the act the
distinction was also a
recognition to the different
Cuban cultural institutions and
all the intellectuals on the
Island.
Shortly after his arrival in
Nicaragua yesterday, the
minister visited the Las Brisas
Power Plant, northwest of
Managua, where he shared with
Cuban experts putting in place
the generators supplied by
Venezuela.
