The Seventh Summit of Heads of State and Government of the CARICOM-Cuba mechanism will be held on December 8 this year. This is an important forum whose efforts are focused on the strengthening of relations between the Caribbean Community and Cuba and finding solutions to the most pressing problems affecting the region, such as climate change effects and development challenges. These Summits are being held every three years since 2002, on alternate venues between our country and CARICOM States. Traditionally, the meeting coincides with the CARICOM-Cuba Day, the date that marks the courageous decision adopted by the leaders of Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados and Jamaica to officially establish diplomatic relations with Cuba on December 8, 1972, thus breaking the diplomatic isolation that the United States had been attempting to impose against our country since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. This time, due to the complex epidemiological conditions facing the Latin American and Caribbean region as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to hold this meeting in a videoconference format. This Summit is convened in a context characterized by a severe global health and socioeconomic crisis that will only be overcome by the indispensable cooperation and solidarity among all States.
