Santa Clara, August 1.- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel met on Wednesday in the central city of Santa Clara with relatives of Dr. Landy Rodriguez, one of the two Cuban medical doctors kidnapped in Kenya.
"In Santa Clara we met and talked with the family of Dr. Landy Rodriguez Hernåndez. We conveyed to them encouragement and affection in such a difficult situation. A working and humble family that we should all support," the Cuban leader wrote on his Twitter account.
