Nicosia, Cyprus, March 4, 2026. The newspaper of the Progressive Party of the Working People (AKEL) published in its pages the campaign “By the Side of the Cuban People," shared by the Cyprus-Cuba Friendship Association and Almyra Publishing, to provide aid to the island and counteract the economic, financial, and commercial blockade policy for more than sixty years.

“In a period in which the Cuban people continue to suffer the consequences of the prolonged economic blockade, Almyra Editions joins forces with the Cyprus-Cuba Friendship Association to support the sending of humanitarian aid to Cuba,” the note specifies.

In the context of this initiative, part of the income generated from the sale of two widely known editions will be allocated to finance the purchase of necessary supplies for their shipment to the largest of the Antilles.

Yesterday, our authorities reported an attempted infiltration for terrorist purposes involving 10 individuals aboard a vessel registered in the State of Florida, United States.

From the very outset, upon determining that the vessel had departed from United States territory, Cuban authorities have maintained communication with their U.S. counterparts—including the Department of State and the Coast Guard—regarding this terrorist attempt. An investigation is currently underway to fully clarify the facts with the utmost rigor. The Cuban government is willing to exchange information with the United States government concerning this incident.

Among other requests, we will ask the U.S. authorities—through the existing mechanisms between the two countries—for information about the individuals involved, the vessel used, among other details.

U.S. government authorities have expressed their willingness to cooperate in clarifying these regrettable events.
