Raul Castro, Torrijos Team Up
Panamanian President Martin
Torrijos is on his second to
last day in Cuba, after
bilateral collaboration topped a
meeting with Cuban Vice
President Raul Castro.
The inauguration of an
ophthalmologic center with Cuban
help in the Panamanian province
of Veraguas was announced in the
talks last night, according to
Granma daily.
The development of bilateral
links was also in the center of
the friendly meeting,
particularly the Operation
Miracle Program, which Torrijos
called "a real miracle only
possible with Cuban help."
As part of his agenda, the
visitor toured the Latin
American School of Medicine,
where over 10,000 students from
28 countries, including 400
Panamanians, are studying.
In this fourth visit to Cuba
since he came into power in
2004, Torrijos has held separate
meetings with other Cuban
officials, such as Parliament
President Ricardo Alarcon, and
Government minister Ricardo
Cabrisas.
