New Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz, in suit and tie, stands behind Cuban Communist Party general secretary Raul Castro
CUBA elected Manuel Marrero Cruz yesterday as its first prime minister since 1976.
Mr Marrero Cruz was voted in by the National Assembly after being nominated by President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
He has served as tourism minister since 2004, “a position with which he was entrusted by our commander in chief, Fidel Castro Ruz,” as Mr Diaz-Canel said, and is credited with building links with foreign countries and companies that have hugely expanded the island’s tourism sector.
