CUBA, September 5, 2009. Cuban President Raul Castro congratulated the workers of Havana’s Convention Center on Friday, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the institution.

On the letter, read during the ceremony to mark the date, Raul acknowledges the results obtained by the Center over the last three decades, the fruit of the self-sacrificing effort of its staff, which has carried out a high quality work.

The document adds that the workers have diversified their functions, thus increasing the national and international prestige the specialized institution has in the organization and celebration of congresses and seminars.

During the ceremony, certificates were sent to Raul and Revolution leader Fidel Castro, in recognition of the support they have given the Center since its founding, as well as for their permanent presence in the institution and their confidence in its staff.
