Raul Castro, president of the Cuban Council of State and the Council of Ministers, held a welcoming ceremony for Premier Li Keqiang in Havana on Sept 24.
The ceremony in Cuba’s capital city marks the first official visit by a Chinese premier since the two countries established diplomatic ties 56 years ago.
A military band played the national anthems of the two countries, and Premier Li inspected an honor guard, accompanied by Raul Castro.
