HAVANA: Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel (pic) said Saturday (Aug 30) he has begun a tour of Asia that will take him to China, Laos and Vietnam, his main commercial ally on the continent.
Diaz-Canel's trip comes as Cuba, which counts 10.9 million inhabitants, faces a severe economic crisis, while global trade has been shaken by US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs.
