Cuban state award ceremonies

Overview

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez has presided over several ceremonies to award state decorations for international solidarity and domestic service.

In early September, the Cuban government awarded the Medalla de la Amistad (Medal of Friendship) to Nivia Regina Da Silva and Marcelo Durao Fernández, members of Brazil’s Landless Workers' Movement (MST). The honors recognized their efforts in supporting Cuba through campaigns against economic blockades and the donation of agricultural supplies and medicines.

Later in the month, President Díaz-Canel led ceremonies for domestic and internationalist service. Under Presidential Decree 1289, ten workers from the National Union of Education, Science and Sports Workers (SNTECD) received the “Internationalist Worker” Medal for completing missions in sectors such as health and education. Additionally, to mark the 66th anniversary of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), the “28 de Septiembre” distinction was awarded to community organizers and labor collectives for their contributions to neighborhood unity.
