Havana, Cuba.- As reported on Twitter by the President, during the day, the party delegation will also hold a similar meeting in Havana.

On Thursday, the President and the Secretariat members held meetings with the authorities of the central provinces of Villa Clara and Cienfuegos.

The best gift that we can give to Raúl on his birthday is to consolidate the agreements of the 8th PCC Congress, said Roberto Morales Ojeda, member of the Political Bureau and Secretary of Organization and Politics of Cadres of the Communist Party of Cuba in Villa Clara.

In Cienfuegos, Díaz-Canel called for the elimination of the bureaucracy burden that may remain to the work of that organization and insisted on the need to remove the routine from the party work and make the processes more attractive, with more social impact.

During Thursday's meetings, the ideological and economic struggle emerged as two essential pillars for the country, which demand the strengthening of the internal life of the political grouping and the exemplarity of its members.

They also addressed the role of the mass organizations, which need to be revitalized, the attention to the grassroots structures of the Young Communist League, and the preparation of the leaders of the PCC. (RHC)
