The Grenadian weekly The Grenada Informer recently reported on the declaration issued by the Council for Foreign and Community Relations (COFCOR) of CARICOM regarding Cuba, a statement that reaffirms the regional stance against the blockade measures affecting the Cuban people.
The article highlights the condemnation by Caribbean governments of the economic, commercial, and financial sanctions imposed on Cuba, noting that these generate a humanitarian crisis and violate fundamental principles of international law. The declaration also underscores the importance of preserving the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace and strengthening solidarity with Cuba.
With this publication, The Grenada Informer contributes to the regional visibility of a pronouncement that rejects military aggression and defends free trade among sovereign states, reflecting CARICOM’s commitment to justice, cooperation, and stability in the region.
Over the past six decades, Cuba has made decisive contributions to Caribbean development, sending doctors, teachers, and technicians to various countries in the region, supporting literacy and vocational training programs, and offering university scholarships to hundreds of Caribbean youth. These efforts have consolidated regional cooperation and strengthened the bonds of fraternity among peoples.
