Kingston, Jamaica, 22 April , 2022. This Thursday, Ambassador Fermín Quiñones received Miguel Lorne, leader of the Marcus Garvey People's Political Party (MGPPP) and other members of the board of directors of this political organization, at the diplomatic headquarters of Cuba.
The Cuban diplomat offered the visitors an update on the situation in Cuba, with emphasis on the country's post-Covid recovery and the harmful effects of the US government's blockade and imperialist aggression against the Cuban people.
The directors of the MGPPP thanked Cuba for its historic solidarity with their country, expressed in the medical and educational brigades that we maintain in Jamaica, the construction of schools and the training of hundreds of young people for free in recent decades.
Likewise, they reaffirmed their willingness to strengthen the ties of cooperation and solidarity with Cuban organizations and institutions and to articulate with their Jamaican peers in the fight against the blockade and other actions of solidarity with Cuba. The MGPPP, with a progressive, anti-imperialist, pro-Caribbean character and Africanist, takes up the legacy of the political party of the same name founded by Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jamaica's national hero, in 1929.
