SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) – El Salvadoran President Salvador Sanchez Ceren has travelled to Cuba for a third time to receive medical treatment, an official said yesterday.
The 70-year-old former Marxist guerrilla leader travelled to Havana on Saturday to complete a medical checkup, according to Antonio Rivera, a spokesman for the president’s office.
“The president is fine. At the end of last year, he suspended the checkup to continue with the agenda that finished this Saturday, but the doctors have recommended that he finish the checkup that he was doing,” Rivera said.
Last week, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited the Central American country to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of peace accords that ended a 12-year civil war that killed around 75,000 people.
