The Cuban ambassador to UNESCO, Yahima Esquivel, today received the Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar medal, awarded by the Group of Latin American and Caribbean countries (GRULAC) in the multilateral entity, in recognition of her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the context of a GRULAC-UNESCO meeting at the organization’s headquarters in Paris, her colleagues highlighted the work carried out during the last four years at the head of Cuba\u2019s Permanent Mission, a position from which she promoted regional unity, education, science, culture and information as pillars of sustainable and inclusive development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Venezuelan ambassador Rodulfo P\u00e9rez presented Esquivel with the special distinction that bears the name of the independence hero Bol\u00edvar (1783-1830), an emblematic figure of the struggles in South America for emancipation from Spanish rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuban first secretary Lluraldi Cabas, Esquivel’s husband, also received the GRULAC award for his work at UNESCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cuban ambassador thanked the Group for the tribute and the joint work during her management period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
