At the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment (MINCEX), a ceremony was held to receive the thirteenth shipment of humanitarian aid from Mexico, accompanied on this occasion by donations from the member states of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
The ceremony was presided over by Lázaro Artola Madrazo, Deputy Minister for Latin America at #MINCEX; William Díaz Menéndez, Director General of International Cooperation at MINCEX; Rafael Dausa, Acting Director General for Latin America at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of #Cuba; His Excellency Miguel Díaz Reynoso, Ambassador of the United Mexican States to Cuba; Mr. Halim Majeed, Ambassador of Guyana to Cuba; as well as members of the diplomatic corps of Caribbean countries belonging to #CARICOM, representatives of the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID), and MINCEX officials.
During the ceremony, the Director General of International Cooperation at MINCEX expressed his gratitude for the continued support of the people and Government of #Mexico, as well as for the valuable contribution of the CARICOM member states to the Cuban people, in a context marked by the tightening of the economic blockade, which restricts access to food, medicines and fuel.
Mexican Ambassador Miguel Díaz Reynoso emphasized: “We are gathered here to formally deliver this expression of solidarity and assistance. This year, we have witnessed and have also experienced, alongside the Cuban people, the illegal and reprehensible tightening of the energy siege. That is why we say to Cuba once again today: Cuba is not alone.”
For his part, the Ambassador of #Guyana to Cuba, Halim Majeed, speaking on behalf of CARICOM, stated: “We must continue and repeat these acts of solidarity, no matter how small they may be. Time and again, we will do whatever we can to support Cuba in these difficult times. Cuba is not alone.”
This new shipment is a concrete expression of solidarity and brotherhood, reaffirming the historic ties of cooperation between Cuba, Mexico and the countries of CARICOM.
