Fidel Castro Road, formerly known as the Charter Road, was officially commissioned today by visiting Cuban Vice President Salvador Valdes Mesa.
The road was renamed in 2020 in honor of Cuba’s founding president, Fidel Castro.
Vice President Misa said the road represented the honor and memory of an icon who came to Harare in 1986 to attend the Non-Aligned Movement summit.
The road symbolizes the resilience and fighting spirit of Castro, who died fighting to end colonialism and the dominant position of the West.
Vice President Misa said they were committed to continuing to work with Zimbabwe in various sectors, adding that this honor symbolized great friendship.
“We continue to work with Zimbabwe and transfer knowledge to the people of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has also received vaccines and medical equipment,” he said.
Vice President Kembo Mohadi said Zimbabwe was grateful for the support it received from Cuba, adding that the relationship must continue.
There is a need to deepen relations between Zimbabwe and Cuba. He added: “We are committed to ensuring the continuation of this relationship at the bilateral and international levels.” Announce
