Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba expresses its profound concern and categorical rejection of the decision by the Government of the United States to exclude three countries, including Cuba, from the Tenth Summit of the Americas, scheduled for December 4 and 5 in Punta Cana.
Taking a firm stance in favor of the normalization of relations between the United States and Cuba, Ypsilanti City Council, in Michigan, recently approved a resolution urging the federal government to remove Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism and end the economic blockade that has been in place for more than six decades.
The resolution recalls that the President of the United States has the executive authority to remove Cuba from this list and advocates for the normalization of relations between the two countries.
For those who "to do is the best way to say" -as expressed by Apostle José Martí-, death is not synonymous with oblivion. Proof of this is the legacy of Reverend Lucius Walker, which endures even 15 years after his physical departure.
Walker, who was born in New Jersey in 1930, became involved in the movement for the civil rights of African-Americans, guided by Reverend Martin Luther King.
