This Friday, September 28th will mark a special day in the international community as Cuban president Miguel Diaz-Canel will make his first appearance at the United Nations Cuban Mission, in New York.
Prior to his historic appearance at the U.N., on Wednesday, September 26th he is the invited speaker at the iconic Riverside Church. The event is organized by Pastors for Peace.
During his trip it is expected Diaz-Canel will make an appeal for the half-century old embargo against his country imposed by the United States to be lifted. Also, on his schedule are meetings with U.S. business leaders.
Following a successful transition this past April, Diaz-Canel became president. This followed years of leadership by Raul Castro and his older brother Fidel Castro.
