Declaration of the 20th Summit of the ALBA-TCP commemorating its 17th anniversary
“17 years defending Latin American and Caribbean integration and peace”
“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.
The Commander, the Chief, the Horse, Caguairán, that's how we refer to those who did not conceive to be defeated while there was the possibility of fighting, who taught us to resist, but above all else, they taught us to win.
