As the culmination of a tour of the island countries of the Caribbean that are very close to Cuba in space, history and current bilateral relations, a delegation from the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) visited Antigua to meet again with the institutions and organizations that in that country promote solidarity with Cuba. The delegation was made up of the Director of Latin America and the Caribbean, Lily Zamora, and the Head of the Caribbean Department, Tamara Armenteros.
After the years of the COVID pandemic that limited exchanges and visits, this tour is part of the work towards strengthening and reaffirming ties that go back a long way and are part of the natural relationship between both countries.
They were received and hosted by representatives of the Friendship Association of Antigua and Barbuda with Cuba, the Leonard Tim Hector Memorial Committee, the Association of Cuban Residents in Antigua and Barbuda and the Association of Youth Ambassadors of Antigua and Barbuda with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba.
Before their departure, the visitors were interviewed by the anchor of the national television of Antigua and Barbuda, Garfield Burford, with whom they analyzed the traditional family relations of friendship and cooperation that exist among all countries of the Caribbean.
