Cuban Deputy Winds up Nicaraguan Visit
Vice President of the Cuban National Assembly of the Peoples Power, Jaime Crombet, concluded a four-day visit to Nicaragua on Thursday, aimed at strengthening friendly links between both countries.

Crombet had a tight agenda in Nicaragua, where he was invited to attend ceremonies for the 27th anniversary of the triumph of the Revolution led by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN).

He met with FSLN Secretary General Daniel Ortega on Wednesday, after a mass gathering at John Paul II Square, where the Sandinista leader called on all Nicaraguans to join hands to fight savage capitalism.

Crombet also met with Electoral Supreme Court Magistrate Emmet Lang, who informed him on preparations for general elections scheduled for Nov. 5.

Friendly ties between both countries legislative powers were ratified during a visit to Nicaragua´s National Assembly, where Crombet met with his counterpart, Rene Nunez.

Other activities included a meeting with former Foreign Minister Miguel D Escoto, president of the Free The Five Committee, during which Nicaraguan Solidarity toward Cuba was highlighted.
