CUBA

Banjul, April 28, 2017.- A group of young Gambians who recently finished their studies under the New Community Based Medical Program, visited the Embassy of Cuba where they held a meeting with the Cuban ambassador, Lázaro Herrera. During the meeting, the junior doctors expressed their highest appreciation for the valuable assistance provided by Cuba and reaffirmed their commitment to dedicate all their efforts to providing services to their fellow citizens in the most remote corners of the country.

The solemn ceremony was organized by the Cuban National Authority for the implementation of the Convention and was chaired by José Fidel Santana Núñez, Vice-Minister of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA), Fermín Quiñones Sánchez, Director General of ACNU and Alba Guillén Campos, representative of the Director General of the Office of Environmental Regulation and Nuclear Safety.

We have once again witnessed another infamous and immoral decision by the discredited OAS, against the Bolivarian Revolution; a repetition of the shameful pages written against the Cuban Revolution in the 1960s.

The calling of a Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, to continue harassing the Venezuelan government, constitutes another action consistent with the OAS’ traditional role as an instrument of imperialist domination in the hemisphere; in order to undermine the sovereignty, independence and dignity of Our America.
