In a recent televised session of the Senate of Grenada, the President of this body, Honorable Dessima Williams, paid tribute to Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz on the centenary of his birth. With a solemn gesture, the legislator evoked the historical significance of the Cuban leader and his impact on the Caribbean region.
Affirming that the Caribbean has produced great leaders, Williams recalled that Fidel was a figure who articulated and fought for the emancipation and rights of the peoples of the so‑called Third World.
At the headquarters of the Embassy of Cuba in Grenada, two memorandums of understanding were signed between both governments, aimed at expanding cooperation in the field of education. The agreements cover special education and the literacy project “Yo sí puedo”, with the purpose of strengthening bilateral collaboration in this sector.
As part of a Caribbean tour, Commander in Chief Fidel Castro arrived in Grenada on August 2, 1998. Minutes after landing, still at Point Salines International Airport—today Maurice Bishop International—the leader of the Cuban Revolution unveiled a plaque in tribute to the 24 compatriots who fell during the U.S. invasion of 1983.
The members of the National Assembly of People's Power of the Republic of Cuba, on behalf of the Cuban people, reiterate their strongest condemnation of the genocidal aggression perpetrated by the United States government against Cuba and the imperialist attempt to subdue the sovereign will of the Cuban people by force. The nation's commitment to defending its inalienable right to self-determination, safeguarding its independence, and its determination to build socialism are firmly established and non-negotiable pillars.
