The Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodriguez issued a message of gratitude on the occasion of the statements of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States on Cuban Medical Brigades and on the recent escalation of the United States action toward the Republic of Cuba.
The Guild of Graduates of Cuba in St. Lucia has released a statement supporting the nomination for the Cuban Henry Reeve Brigade for the Nobel Peace Prize. The GUILD is overjoyed at the news that the Henry Reeve Brigade has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Considering all that Cuba has done for us as individuals, for the Caribbean Community, and the world, we believe that we speak for the more than 700 Saint Lucians who have benefitted from the Cuban higher education system, when we express our complete support for this initiative.
The members of the Cuban Medical Brigade working in Saint Lucia have taken the initiative of collaborating through a monetary donation to the fight against the Covid 19 pandemic that our country is waging. The Coordinator of the Medical Brigade Arvelio Ballester informed the group on mission of this contribution which was made through a bank transfer. The Cuban health workers in Saint Lucia reaffirm their commitment to the Homeland with this noble and supportive gesture.
