Kingston, Jamaica, 23 July 2021. Professor Trevor Brown, president of the Jamaica Cuba Friendship Association, Dr. Neville Graham, a medical graduate from one of our country’s colleges, and Alexander Scott, director of the Left Alliance for National Democracy and Socialism (LANDS), participated yesterday afternoon in the Virtual Caribbean Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba organized by the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP).
In his words, the LANDS representative called for greater activism in defence of Cuba and to denounce the imperialism’s interventionist actions in the region. Likewise, Dr. Graham reiterated his gratitude to Cuba for training thousands of Caribbean professionals over decades and his support for the Largest Island in the Antilles in its fight against the US blockade.
More than twenty solidarity leaders from the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Saint Lucia, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago participated in the virtual meeting. Delegates from friendship associations coordinated actions to be developed at national and regional level, and approved an Action Plan for that purpose.
Fernando González Llort, President of ICAP; Norberto Galiotti, Coordinator of the Latin American and Caribbean Continental Network of Solidarity with Cuba; and directors of the Assembly of the Peoples of the Caribbean also took part in the meeting.
