The Grenadian weekly The Grenada Informer recently reported on the declaration issued by the Council for Foreign and Community Relations (COFCOR) of CARICOM regarding Cuba, a statement that reaffirms the regional stance against the blockade measures affecting the Cuban people.
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Council for Foreign and Community Relations (COFCOR) expresses its profound concern regarding the ongoing and intensifying economic, commercial, and financial measures imposed upon the Republic of Cuba. The COFCOR reminds that the mounting hardships facing the Cuban people also seriously impact CARICOM nationals studying and living in Cuba, whose well-being remains a priority for the Community.
Mr. President, distinguished permanent representatives:
Grenadian parliamentarian Peter David held a telephone exchange with the Ambassador of Cuba in Grenada, during which he confirmed his political organization’s support for the Cuban cause. During the conversation, David emphasized that solidarity with the Island is a historic commitment of the Grenadian people and that his party will continue to defend bilateral cooperation in every possible space.
The Grenadian newspaper The New Today published in full an article signed by the Ambassador of Cuba in Grenada, Yadirys Echenique Paz, highlighting the importance of international solidarity with the Greater of the Antilles. The dissemination of the text in a local Caribbean outlet gave visibility to Cuba’s position at a time marked by the economic and energy difficulties caused by the hostility of the U.S. government.
