The Prime Minister of Saint Lucia, Kenny Davis Anthony, will arrive on Monday to Cuba, where he will have a very busy agenda that includes dialogues with authorities and visits to places of scientific, medical and educational interest.

According to the program released to the press, the president will remain on the island until June 1, to strengthen the bilateral ties established in a diplomatic level in August 1979.

Anthony will hold high-level talks and pay tribute to Cuban National Hero Jose Marti at the Revolution Square in Havana.

He will also visit a school in Havana, the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology and a nursery linked to urban agriculture.

The relation between Cuba and St. Lucia is developed mainly in the sectors of health, construction and sport.

Currently, 23 Cubans are serving in the small island in the medical field, including a dozen related to Operation Miracle, an initiative to restore vision to poor people in this continent.

Regarding education, 77 young people of St. Lucia are studying in Cuba, particularly in health-related careers.
