Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will travel to Cuba in November, following the Cuban president’s invitation.
Specifically, on Wednesday, July 14, the Ecumenical Patriarch met the Cuban Ambassador to Turkey, Luis Alberto Amorós Núñez.
The ambassador conveyed to the Ecumenical Patriarch the invitation of the country’s president, Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, to pay an official visit to Cuba.
The Ecumenical Patriarch accepted the invitation of the Cuban president and will be traveling to Havana in the first week of November, at the end of his official visit to the United States.
This is the second visit of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to Cuba, after his first visit in 2004 at the invitation of the late Cuban President, Fidel Castro.
