Information from the Revolutionary Government

Following the request submitted by the U.S. government to receive a delegation led by CIA Director John Ratcliffe in Havana, the Cuban leadership approved the visit and the meeting between Ratcliffe and his counterpart from the Ministry of Interior.

The meeting was held on Thursday, May 14, in a context marked by the complexity of bilateral relations. It aimed to contribute to political dialogue between the two countries as part of ongoing efforts to address the current situation.

The information provided by the Cuban side and the discussions held with the U.S. delegation made it clear that Cuba does not pose a threat to U.S. national security, nor are there any legitimate grounds for including it on the list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
 During the meeting, it was evident that our country’s long-standing position is consistent and aligned with the actions of the Cuban government and its competent authorities in unequivocally confronting and condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

Once again, it was made clear that the island does not harbor, support, finance, or permit terrorist or extremist organizations; nor are there any foreign military or intelligence bases on its territory, and it has never supported any hostile activity against the United States nor will it allow actions against another nation to be carried out from Cuba.

The interest of both parties in developing bilateral cooperation between law enforcement and compliance agencies was also made clear, in the interest of the security of both nations, as well as regional and international security.
