Lis Cuesta Peraza is "delighted" to be touring Iran, where she traveled as part of the official delegation accompanying her husband Díaz-Canel on his visit to the Islamic nation.
Cuesta, who usually joins the international tours of the ruling leader, takes advantage of these trips at the expense of public funds to indulge in pleasures that the Cuban people can only dream of.
On Monday afternoon, the "non" first lady of Cuba visited the Saad Abad historical cultural complex in Tehran along with other members of the delegation, and she appeared very lively as she took photos with her cellphone.
According to the Mashreq portal, Lis toured the Green Museums Palace of Mellat and the museum of Maestro Mahmoud Farshchian, where the officials provided explanations about the history, features, and historical works of both institutions.
The Saad Abad cultural complex encompasses more than 180 hectares of natural forest, streets, galleries, palaces, and museums.
During the visit, which lasted about three hours, Cuesta expressed his satisfaction with the tour and mentioned that he hopes to visit all the museums in the area in the future.
The Cuban delegation arrived in Iran last Sunday, where Díaz-Canel was welcomed by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Grand Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.
The leader expressed his intention to strengthen ties with the Islamic country and for it to become an important economic player for Cuba, which is currently experiencing a deep crisis.
The visit is part of an official tour by Díaz-Canel in the Middle East that began in late November, for which the regime chartered a plane from the Spanish company Plus Ultra, with private use estimated to cost around $11,000 per hour.
In addition to Cuesta Peraza, the delegation includes her son Manuel Anido Cuesta, a lawyer who, like his mother, is already a familiar presence on his stepfather's trips, although his official role remains undefined.
