Hernández Delgado received the high honor in the central act for the Cuban Engineer’s Day (January 11th), celebrated a few hours ago in the province of Holguín, attended by Joel Queipo Ruiz, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and its first secretary in that eastern territory and Antonio Guerrero Rodríguez, Hero of the Republic of Cuba and national president of the UNAICC.

«Congratulations. Always my embrace of recognition to your career, always marked by simplicity, responsibility and willingness to face the task no matter how complex it may be, there are many pages to write to collect solutions and alternatives to engineering problems that you face every day. You have deserved this award for many years,» commented Jorge Luis Hernandez Rodriguez, general director of EMPAI.

Since 1946, the Cuban Engineer’s Day has been commemorated to honor the memory of the distinguished engineer Don Francisco de Albear y Fernández de Lara, and to settle a historical debt with this notorious professional, born precisely on January 11th.
