Kingston, Jamaica, 24 September 2020. The Jamaica Patriotic Movement released today a Foreign Policy statement on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations, acknowledging the work of all members of the Cuban education and medical cooperation brigades in Jamaica, and speaking in favour of multilateralism, foreign aid to poor countries and the lifting of sanctions in times of pandemic.
Initially posted on the Facebook profile of Professor Carlos Daley, founder and President of the Movement, the statement thanks the Government of Cuba for sending new teachers as part of the staff renewal of the Education Brigade and conveys the Movement’s support for the idea to award the ‘Henry Reeve’ International Contingent of Doctors Specialized in Disaster Situations and Serious Epidemics the Nobel Prize for Peace.
One paragraph reads: ‘The Cubans live by their revolutionary ideals, they share what they have, they don't drop bombs and they support the goals of the United Nations to defend multilateralism.’
Here is the full text of the statement:
JAMAICA PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT FOREIGN POLICY POSITION.
We congratulate the 75th year anniversary of the United Nations, a beacon of hope for humanity. We support their stance on the need to promote multilateralism and the need for rich countries provide relief to poorer countries. We are also supportive of their position calling for the lifting of sanctions during the pandemic.
Our movement condemns the move by the United States to incorporate Guyana and Suriname in their nefarious act of aggression against Venezuela, Venezuelan must be allowed to conduct their own experiment of social development, they have rejected the western model!!!
We support the Barbadian Government position on removing the queen as head of state, our people are proud and will follow suit in due time.
We thank the Cuban Government on behalf of our people for sending some new teachers (12 men and 8 women). It is part of their annual renewal of the staff of the Cuban Education Brigade. Their specialties involve 17 Spanish teachers, 2 mathematicians, and one chemist. The Cubans live by their revolutionary ideals, they share what they have, they don't drop bombs and they support the goals of the United Nations to defend multilateralism.
We totally endorse the ideal circulating in Europe and other world quarters to give the Cuban Henry Reeve medical brigade the Nobel Prize for Peace, they earned it.
