In his acceptance speech, Leal recalled the work of Ricardo Palma and other Peruvians such as Leoncio and Grocio Prado, who fought for the independence of Cuba.

According to Prensa Latina news agency, he also recalled Raul Porras Barrenechea, a former Peruvian foreign minister who in 1960 refused to isolate and condemn Cuba at the Organization of American States (OAS).

For his part, Elivan Rodriguez, Rector of the University, highlighted the merits of Leal and said that he embodies a "combination of theory, real life, intellect and heart".

He also praised Leals fondness for Peru and stressed that his work in the restoration of Old Havana is an example that should be followed in Peru.
