Havana, November 9, 2022.- Cuba is preparing a Citizenship Law and, for the next legislature of Parliament, draft laws on Passport and Immigration will be submitted for approval, Ernesto Soberón, general director of Consular Affairs and Attention to Cubans Resident Abroad, affirmed in Montevideo ( Daccre), of the Foreign Ministry of the Island.
Advances in these issues show that Cuba is working to promote relations with emigrants, according to Prensa Latina after the meeting with fellow residents held at the end of October at the Cuban diplomatic mission in Uruguay.
According to the Director of Daccre, measures are also being studied on issues that are of interest to emigration, including the streamlining of procedures and their participation in socioeconomic development, particularly at the territorial level.
The diplomat estimated that there are about 12,000 Cubans in the South American nation, and considered that there are unprecedented numbers of Cuban citizens abroad, and also of a number of countries.
He underscored the impact of the US blockade on irregular migration and the dangers it poses for those exposed to human trafficking and smuggling of migrants.
