At the Summit of the Americas this week, as chronicled by Cuba's superstar photographer Roberto Suarez, Cubans are prominent and supported in Lima, Peru.
Sessions at the Summit are well-attended.
Photographer Roberto Suarez Wednesday got stuck in a traffic jam in Lima, Peru. For the folks back in Cuba, Roberto tagged this photo: "El trafico es tremendo."
With their Cubana Airlines plane in the background, Cubans showed their fervent support for their island upon arriving in Lima, Peru on Sunday, April 8, 2018, for this week's 8th Summit of the Americas. The Lima photos are by Cuba's Roberto Suarez.
Cuba's dedicated, hard-working radio & television news outlets are lavishly covering this week's 8th Summit of the Americas being held in Peru. The photo above shows a live broadcast on Cubadebate TV with journalist Anisley Torres, in the upper-right wearing a "Our America" t-shirt, just prior to her excellent update from Peru.
Earlier this week the Miami Herald had a major article entitled: "A Trump-Castro Encounter May Steal The Show At The Summit of the Americas." But Tuesday, April 10-2018, U. S. President Donald Trump canceled his scheduled trip to Peru for the Summit of the Americas. His office cited his impending military attack on Syria but domestically Trump is also reeling from the FBI's breaking into his lawyer's office using a warrant seeking possible criminal information. So, no Trump "encounter."
But Cuba is well represented in Peru.
The large Cuban journalistic contingent in Lima, Peru this week includes Superstar television anchor Cristina Escobar...that's her in the Center...and Superstar photographer Roberto Suarez, who took this selfie as he sat in front of Cristina.
This is Cristina Escobar today preparing a live report back to Cuba on the Summit of the Americas in Lima, Peru. Speaking in Spanish or English, many...and I'm one of the them...consider Cristina the best broadcast journalist in the Western Hemisphere.

And so was the Cuban Revolution.
At the Summit of the Americas in Lima, Peru, music-loving Cubans headline the festivities amid the seriousness of the important regional event. Even with America's embattled President Trump bowing out, twenty Latin American presidents are expected to be on hand for the final two days of the Summit this coming weekend.

This is Gabriela Lugo Moreno.
