From June 20 to 22, the 14th edition of the Cubaneando International Festival took place in the city of Montreal in an atmosphere of joy and celebration of our roots. At the opening ceremony, Consul Angel Torres spoke with Josué Corvil, City Councilor for the Saint-Michel district, and they agreed that the Festival is a showcase for celebrating our identities.
The Consulate General of Cuba, along with other Latin American consulates accredited in Toronto, participated in the Latin Fair to highlight Cuban culture, Hispanic heritage, and cultural diversity in Canada.
As usual, members of the Cuban community spread their joy to many of the attendees, who, despite the high temperatures, joined in the dancing and participated in our traditional games.
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
The threat of a direct US aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, spurred by the genocidal government of Israel became true, following the dastardly bombings against the nuclear sites of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
Cuba strongly condemns these grave acts that represent a perilous escalation of the Middle East conflict and a flagrant violation of the UN Charter and international law.
The Consul General of Cuba in Toronto, Jorge Yanier Castellanos Orta, held productive meetings with Ontario Deputy Minister of Health Deborah Richardson and Ontario Director for Associations and Investor Services Nicole Simone, respectively.
During the exchanges, the parties discussed the possibilities for collaboration between them and identified some areas of common interest, establishing the foundations for future exchanges.
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
The Cuban Government reiterates its deep concern and alerts to the imminent risk of intensification of Israel’s war against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the threat of a direct attack by the United States and the danger that the conflict could go nuclear or that radioactive leaks may occur with disastrous and devastating consequences for humanity.
