HAVANA, Cuba (AFP) — A shipment of 15,000 tons of rice donated by the Chinese government to Cuba has arrived at the port of Havana, the island’s president said on Sunday.
The shipment is the first batch of a promised 60,000 tons that China says it will donate to Cuba, which is grappling with dire shortages.
“That noble gesture of solidarity will reach millions of consumers throughout all the provinces and the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud, in addition to our health and education institutions,” President Miguel Diaz-Canel wrote on X.
