Georgetown, Guyana. January 28th, 2022 “José Martí, poet of the finest sensitivity, one of the most important intellectuals and writers in Latin America and the Caribbean, creator of an enormous work, due to its volume and lucidity; a sensitive chronicler of his time, a journalist who enjoyed great recognition in New York at the end of the 19th century; a man seduced by love and seducer and giver of beauty, of human kindness”.
Buenos Aires, Argentina, January 7, 2022.
His Excellency Mr. Marcelo Ebrard Casaubón, Secretary of Foreign Relations of the United Mexican States;
His Excellency Mr. Santiago Andrés Cafiero, Minister of Foreign Relations, International Trade and Worship of the Argentine Republic;
Dear Foreign Ministers, Heads of Delegations, National Coordinators and guests, friends, all:
“17 years defending Latin American and Caribbean integration and peace”
Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The virtual summit convened by the United States government on December 9-10, with prerecorded speeches from the guests and a totally manipulated agenda, was a demagogic exercise, with zero benefits for the international community and without any proposal to solve the most pressing problems of the world we share.
It is my distinct honour, in my capacity as Chairman of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to address the People and Governments of CARICOM and Cuba on the Forty-Ninth Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between our Countries. Today reminds us of that symbolic and courageous historic act of Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago on 8 December 1972, that has evolved over the years into a fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship based on solidarity.
