Mr Adams will be accompanied by North Belfast Assemblyman Gerry Kelly on
the visit where he will unveil a plaque in memory of the 1981 IRA hunger
strikers.
They will also be joined by Sinn Fein`s international department director Joan
O`Connor and will pay visits to the Juan Marquez Paediatric Hospital and the
Latin American School of Medical Sciences.
Meetings are also scheduled with Cuban government officials.
The visit follows Mr Adams`s trip to South Africa in October when he unveiled a
monument on Robben Island.
A spokesman for Mr Adams said: ``We have identified as part of our strategy
the need to develop our international outreach.
``We have worked to do that in the USA, South Africa and the third world as
well as Australia and other nations.``
He added: ``It is part of the broad strategy to secure support for the peace
process in Northern Ireland and in helping to move that process along.``
The group is set to depart for Cuba on Sunday and return the following
Thursday.
