He highlighted the support provided by the largest of the Antilles to that nation through Operation Miracle, which has helped 20,000 Salvadorans to recover their sight. He also referred to the "I can do" method, thanks to which 330,000 people in that country have been alphabetized.

The distinguished visitor spoke out against the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States (USA) for almost six decades and offered his unconditional support.

On the migratory situation in Latin America, he expressed his disagreement with the policies of the US president regarding the Honduran caravan of migrants that intends to reach the United States.

Among the activities scheduled as part of Sánchez Cerén's agenda, are conversations with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. He will also visit the José Martí Memorial, where he will pay homage to the Apostle and will arrive at the Santa Ifigenia Cemetery in Santiago de Cuba to pay tribute to the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz.
