Kingston, Jamaica, 17 September 2019. The Cuban Ambassador to Jamaica, H.E Mrs. Inés Fors Fernández, was received today by Ambassador Marcia Gilbert-Roberts, CD, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Jamaica.
After reviewing some issues on the bilateral agenda, including the next presentation before the UN of a Cuban Resolution against the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the US Government on the island, Ambassador Gilbert-Roberts reiterated her country's support for the just claim of the Cuban people and the international community.
For her part, the Cuban diplomat took the opportunity to thank Jamaica's traditional support for the struggle of the Cuban people against the blockade, highlighting the approval in the Jamaican legislature, for ten consecutive years, of resolutions demanding the lifting of that genocidal practice.
