After the meeting, Daz-Canel went to the Plaza de los Héroes in the city of Maputo, where he laid a wreath as a symbol of honor.
The President of the Caribbean State laid a wreath on behalf of the Cuban people in homage to those who led Mozambique’s independence process and the construction of the new country after liberation.
After a brief ceremony, Daz-Canel and the delegation accompanying him on his African trip toured the holy place and witnessed typical Mozambican dances, the island’s presidency reported on its X account, formerly Twitter.
The star-shaped crypt houses the remains of the country’s key independence heroes, including Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) founder Eduardo Mondlane and the country’s first post-independence president, Samora Machel.

Mozambique is the homeland of all Cubans, he stressed in statements to the press, in which, in addition to the historic cooperation in areas such as health, he thanked the island for the help given to the island in times as difficult as the COVID-19 pandemic and education.
According to the Cuban Presidency’s Twitter account, Nyusi advocated deepening these ties and bringing them closer together in areas such as the biotechnological industry and agriculture.
