Statement by the Revolutionary Government
The Revolutionary Government condemns in the strongest terms the new escalation by the US government against Cuba in its efforts to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to our country.
The executive order issued by the US President on January 29, 2026, declares a supposed national emergency, under which his government will be able to impose trade tariffs on imports of products from countries that supply oil to Cuba.
Cuban Ambassador José Manuel Galego Montano was received at the Foreign Ministry by the new Permanent Secretary of the Fijian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Raijieli Taga, with whom he held a fruitful and enjoyable exchange on bilateral relations and multilateral support between the two countries.
The Committee on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is holding working sessions in Fiji. Cuban representative Yamila González Ferrer is participating in the event as a member of the Committee. Upon her arrival in Suva, she was welcomed by Ambassador José Manuel Galego Montano and exchanged with the Cuban mission staff.
