Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow - Prime Minister of Belize
"It gives me an opportunity to make exchanges with the Cuban president, get closer to the Cuban people, and discuss issues that are having most impact in our region at the moment; overall, what is happening now in Venezuela and Nicaragua that are having major impact. It also gives us an opportunity to participate in what is going to take place in Cuba next week as it relates to the voting in the referendum which is going to be very important to our country." 

Rafael Serrano
"The Prime Minister of Belize was received in Habana by the Cuban vice minister of Foreign Relations Ana Teresita Gonzalez Fraga. The visit to Cuba of the Caribbean delegation will extend until the 28th of January."

Though Barrow makes his first official visit after 11 years in office, he was foreign minister when formal diplomatic relations were established with Cuba in 1995.
