Cuban Ambassador, Mario Alzugaray Rodriguez.
Diplomats tell us what Kiwis need to know about their homelands.
The thing you probably know about my country is ... good music and salsa dancing, delicious rum and mojitos - as well as the best cigars in the world.
But the thing you really should know is ... that people are really friendly and represent the best resource of our
country. Cuba is also a more-than-safe place, with a rich cultural tradition and a unique social environment in constant transformation.
Over there, we think Kiwis are ... easy-going, open-minded and very sociable people.
On a short visit, you should go ... dancing, share with local people, visit heritage cities and take a ride in a fancy, old Chevrolet.
