Cuba Donates Medicine to Peruvian Cold Snap Victims

Havana, August 10 (acn) Peruvian Foreign Minister Jose Garcia Belaunde
thanked Cuba for the donation of five tons of medicine for victims of a
cold spell that recently hit the Andean region of that nation. He spoke
at a ceremony held at the national stadium in Lima.

The Cuban ambassador to Peru, Luis Delfin Perez, explained that these
newly made, high quality Cuban-made medicines are useful for treating
respiratory problems and have a long working life, reported the PL news
agency.

Delfin Perez also referred to Cuba's solidarity with the rest of the
world, specifically with Peru, and recalled the assistance provided
after the devastating earthquake that shook the Andean nation in 1970.

The 1,000 thousand blankets sent by Argentina were also praised by
Belaunde, while Argentinean business representative Jorge Vinuela
assured that his country would send more supplies depending on the
situation in the coming days.
