On the occasion of the VII Cuba - Caricom Summit, the Organization of Easter Caribbean States reaffirms its solidarity.
STATEMENT BY THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OECS Dr. DIDACUS JULES AT VII CUBA-CARICOM SUMMIT 8th December 2020. On behalf of the OECS Commission, it is my duty to convey our deepest appreciation, our profound solidarity with the Cuban Revolution – I know that in diplomatic circles one sometimes speaks euphemistically and that solidarity is sometimes expressed to the “Government and People” but today we need to emphasize that solidarity with the Cuban Revolution. Because it is the fact of revolution in Cuba that enabled the Cuban people to free themselves of the shackles of illiteracy, to achieve one of the highest human development indexes in the so-called Third World, to become a global medical superpower, to unflinchingly support the Anti-Apartheid struggle and shed its own blood on many continents that the independence and sovereignty of the rainbow races of the world can find their equal place in the Sun.
