The Speaker of the House of Representatives of Grenada, Honorable Leo Cato, received the Ambassador of Cuba to that country, Yadirys Echenique Paz, in a meeting that reaffirmed the will of both parties to strengthen institutional ties and bilateral cooperation.
During the meeting, the Cuban diplomat conveyed the warm greetings of the leadership of the National Assembly of People’s Power (ANPP), highlighting the good state of relations between the legislatures of both countries and the willingness of the parliamentary authorities in Havana to maintain a fluid dialogue with their Grenadian counterparts.
For his part, Leo Cato reiterated Grenada’s support for Cuba in times of external hostility and emphasized that solidarity with the Greater of the Antilles remains unwavering for Grenadian institutions. He also agreed that the current energy siege imposed by the United States government on Cuba constitutes an act of injustice without any foundation.
The Speaker further recalled that he has travelled to Cuba on several occasions, a country for which, he affirmed, he feels great affection. In this regard, Leo Cato has been, within Grenada’s legislative bodies, an important voice in denouncing the U.S. blockade against Cuba.
