Dear Foreign Minister Enrique Reina,
Dear Ministers and other representatives of our region,
We thank the Pro Tempore Presidency of Honduras for the timely convening of this meeting. We also support the convening of a Summit Meeting of Presidents and Prime Ministers of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States later this week.
Mr. President:
Sydney, 8 April 2024. Members of the Australia-Cuba Friendship Society (ACFS) demonstrated in Sydney to demand the end of the U.S. government's blockade on Cuba and the U.S. aggressions against Cuban medical cooperation.
Friends in solidarity ratified their support to the Cuban people and government and reaffirmed their commitment to continue defending and supporting the Cuban Revolution.
The Australian movement is an evidence of its solidarity actions for more than four decades.
