Solidarity Without Borders: H.E. Suzelis Perez Mesa on Cuba–Zimbabwe relations

For decades, Cuba and Zimbabwe have shared a relationship rooted in solidarity, mutual respect and people-centred cooperation. From medical training programmes that have shaped Zimbabwe’s healthcare system to enduring ties in education, culture and diplomacy, the bond between the two nations predates Zimbabwe’s independence and continues to evolve. On The Diplomat Couch, a television programme produced by Diplomat Magazine, we sat down with Cuba’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Her Excellency Suzelis Perez Mesa, to reflect on this unique partnership, its impact on ordinary lives and the future of cooperation between the two sister nations.
