Nearly 600 parliamentarians from 73 countries around the world wrote a joint letter, coordinated and published by the Progressive International (PI), in which they condemn the designation of Cuba by the United States as a “State sponsor of terrorism” as “cynical, cruel and a clear violation of international law.” In the letter, published today, Friday, September 20, the legislators call on their respective governments to “take immediate measures to advocate for the removal [of the designation].”

On September 9 and 10, 2024, experts from the governments of Cuba and the United States held a seminar and a tabletop exercise as part of the implementation of the Cuba-US Bilateral Coordination Plan on the preparation and response to pollution caused by spills of hydrocarbons and other potentially dangerous substances in the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida. These exchanges respond to the Cooperation Agreement on the matter, signed between both countries on January 9, 2017.
