President of India's Parliament in Cuba

Havana, Jan 7 (acn) Somnath Chatterjee, president of India's Lower 
Chamber is in Havana accompanied by several members of parliament for 
an official visit to the country until January 10.

In statements to Prensa Latina, the Indian leader said the main 
objective of his coming to Cuba is to broaden and strengthen 
parliamentarian relations, as reported by Granma newspaper Monday.

Chatterjee said by traveling to Havana, the Indian delegation was 
repaying the visit last year, 2007, of a group of Cuban 
parliamentarians to his country headed by Jaime Crombet, who is the 
vice president of the People's Power National Assembly (parliament).

During their stay in the island, the Indian legislators will meet with 
Cuban Vice President, Carlos Lage; Parliament President, Ricardo 
Alarcon, and other government officials.

The group will also visit historic sites and places of social and 
economic interest like Havana's Latin American Medical School.
