Rolando Garcia, assistant representative of the United Nations Population Fund, told Granma newspaper that, regarding the existence of equal opportunities for all citizens, Cuba is the leading country in Latin America.

“These advances match the inclusive and participatory policies promoted and implemented by the Cuban State,” he added.

“We can affirm in the case of Cuba that it solved the main problems of discrimination and managed to integrate everyone into society,” said Garcia, who is participating in the seminar “Cuba and Afro-Descendant Peoples in the Americas”, which concludes on Friday at Havana’s Juan Marinello Cultural Research Institute.
