During an interview on the television programme Mornin' Barbados, in the segment Conversations on CARICOM, H.E. David Comissiong, Barbados' Ambassador to CARICOM, reaffirmed the Caribbean's principled solidarity with Cuba and emphasized the region's longstanding commitment to justice, international law and cooperation among nations.
On 13 June, members of the solidarity movement and friends of Cuba in Barbados gathered in the vicinity of the Embassy of the United States in Barbados to demand an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed against the Cuban people and to reject threats of military aggression against Cuba.
Her Excellency Yanet Stable Cárdenas, Ambassador of Cuba to Barbados, held a fruitful meeting with Dr. Stacy Richards-Kennedy, Regional Manager for the Caribbean and Representative in Barbados of the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF).
During the cordial exchange, both parties discussed matters of mutual interest and opportunities for cooperation.
The Government of Cuba has denounced the latest measures adopted by the United States against the country, describing them as a further escalation of a long-standing policy of hostility aimed at tightening the economic, commercial, and financial blockade and increasing pressure on the Cuban people.
