HAVANA, Cuba.- The President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, announced that he will have official talks with King Mswati III, of Esuatini, also known as Swaziland, on an official visit to the island.

On his Twitter account, Diaz-Canel also stated that Mswati III is in the Caribbean nation to boost bilateral relations; according to the planned schedule, the monarch will honor the Cuban National Hero Jose Marti, in the Memorial named after him.
