Statement by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Government of Canada has decided to change the designation of its Embassy in Havana to an unaccompanied post —according to its statement— as a result of the health concerns reported by some of its diplomats back in 2017.
Cuba ratifies —after an extensive investigation conducted by a group of highly-qualified experts— that there is neither a single shred of evidence to explain the symptoms reported by Canadian diplomats, nor any indication that any attack or incident of any kind had ever occurred on Cuban soil, nor that the symptoms reported are associated with acoustic actions, or with actions of any other kind, carried out by any person or group of persons against other persons.
Ottawa, April 19, 2018.- This is to inform that the Consular Office at the Embassy of Cuba in Ottawa will soon start accepting INTERACT debit cards for the payment of consular fees. Money orders and certified checks from a Canadian bank will be accepted as usual.
