INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC
THE CONSULATE OF CUBA IN DENMARK WILL BE CLOSED FROM 23 OCTOBER UNTIL THE END OF NOVEMBER 2019
Copenhagen- The Queen Margrethe II of Denmark received in farewell audience the Ambassador of Cuba Yiliam Gómez Sardiñas on September 23 in Amalienborg Palace. The Cuban diplomat presented to the regent her farewell greetings for the end of her mission as ambassador to Denmark.
As part of the visit made on September 13 to the Jorn Museum in the Danish city of Silkeborg, the ambassador of Cuba in Denmark, Yiliam Gómez held an exchange with Jacob Thage, director of that entity. Thage explained one of the inter-institutional projects currently underway, which consists of making a 3D sample of the work of the famous Danish painter Asger Jorn. This exhibition will essentially include the abstract wall paintings that the Danish artist painted in Cuba, which were restored with the support of several Denmark’s institutions in 2009.
Thousands of people demonstrated on September 2 in Copenhagen against the imperialist policy of the United States. In that context, Danish friends in solidarity with Cuba protested against the blockade in front of the US Embassy in Copenhagen, where they made speeches to demand the lifting of the blockade and condemned the tightening of that genocidal policy under the Trump administration, including the activation of the Title III of the Helms-Burton act.
