Ottawa, January 28, 2025 - The Cuban flag was raised for the first time at the Ottawa City Hall, seat of the government of the federal capital. This solemn event served to commemorate the 172nd Anniversary of the birth of the National Hero, the 66th Anniversary of the Triumph of the Revolution and the 80th Anniversary of bilateral relations with Canada.
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Cuba rejects the decision announced by the President of the United States to use the Guantanamo Naval Base to imprison tens of thousands of migrants he has proposed to forcibly expel. It is a demonstration of the brutality with which that government is acting to supposedly correct problems created by the economic and social conditions of that country, the government's own management and its foreign policy, including hostility towards countries of origin.
