Havana, June 4 Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel wished the leader of the country's socialist revolution Raul Castro on his 91st birthday.

"Congratulations, my Army General on your 91st (birthday). Thank you for your teachings, example, confidence and optimism. With you at the forefront, a certainty always emerges: Yes, we can," the President said in a tweet on Friday.

"Cuba embraces you and wishes you good health on your 91st birthday," he added.

Born on June 3, 1931, Rau Castro is the youngest brother of the late Cuban Revolution leader Fidel Castro.
