Cuba in Canada

By the Editorial Team – Correo Canadiense

Cuban Ambassador Rodrigo Malmierca describes the relations between his country and Canada as “friendly and highly respectful.”

“We have had more than eighty years of uninterrupted diplomatic relations. Even in the 1960s, when many countries severed ties with Cuba under pressure from the United States, Canada maintained those relations. That demonstrates the level of respect and understanding that has existed between both countries,” he emphasized.

The recent decision by the U.S. Department of Justice to indict Raúl Castro over the 1996 shoot-down of aircraft belonging to Brothers to the Rescue is not an act of justice. It is a profoundly political maneuver designed to intensify Washington’s decades-long campaign against the Cuban Revolution while rewriting the historical record of U.S. aggression against Cuba.
