In a significant display of solidarity, Venezuelan professionals from the electrical, transportation, and public works sectors were bid farewell at Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetía, La Guaira state. The event was attended by Venezuelan Vice Minister for Latin America, Rander Peña, and the Cuban Ambassador to Caracas, Jorge Luis Mayo, along with other officials. This initiative comes in response to the extensive damage caused by a Category 3 hurricane that struck Cuban provinces such as Santiago de Cuba, Las Tunas, Holguín, Granma, and Guantánamo in late October. The hurricane severely impacted electrical, housing, and agricultural infrastructure. Vice Minister Peña highlighted that the best specialists in each field had been carefully selected to support Cuban teams in restoring the power grid through diagnostics and ongoing aid. He also recalled the recent air shipment of 26 tons of food, construction materials, and supplies, dispatched shortly after the hurricane, followed by over 5,000 tons of aid transported by sea on the ALBA ship ‘Manuel Gual.’ Peña emphasized that these efforts are a profound expression of love and solidarity between the two nations.
