Forty-eight years after the crime of Barbados, when a Cubana de Aviación plane was shot down in an attack that killed 73 people, Cuba reiterates its firm rejection of all acts of terrorism, a stance it has maintained in all international forums.
The painful events in Barbados are a reminder of the havoc that this scourge has wreaked on the nation. That barbaric act still goes unpunished today. Cuba does not forget and demands justice for the victims and their families, who continue to wait for answers.
Declaration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba strongly rejects a new US act complicit with terrorist violence against Cuba.
The US judicial authorities have decided to release Alexander Alazo, the individual who, on April 30, 2020, stood in the middle of the street and shot 32 rounds with a machine gun against the Cuban embassy in that country, at the moment when 7 persons stayed inside the building.
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba expresses deep concern over the unfolding events in the Middle East, driven by the aggressive policies of the State of Israel, with military, logistical, and political support from the U.S. government. These actions have led to a dangerous escalation, further undermining regional stability and security, and provoking a response from Iran.
On their fourth visit to the northern country, the members of this talented group of children performed in Tampa, New York, and Washington DC, the capital, where they received the respect and affection of the public.
The last presentation was at the Cuban Embassy in the United States. La Cucarachita Martina, the well-known children's story passed down from generation to generation, was the story in the version of these cheerful “bees” to say goodbye.
