Carmona praises Fidel’s help for region
PRESIDENT Anthony Carmona yesterday telephoned Cuban Ambassador Guillermo Vasquez Moreno, expressing his “deep grief and that of citizens of Trinidad and Tobago on the passing of former Cuban president Fidel Castro”.
“...We all stand in solidarity with the great nation of Cuba, in its moment of anguish and deep sadness,” Carmona said.
In a statement later yesterday, he said: “We as a nation and the community of nations in the Caribbean are truly grateful for all assistance and support that Cuba under Fidel Castro’s stewardship has rendered to our burgeoning democracies in the region. Fidel Castro’s investment in the human capital of his country and Caricom is undeniable.
“His internationalism has resulted in thousands of Cuban-trained doctors, healthcare specialists, educationists, agronomists, scientists and athletic coaches being sent to the far reaches of the world, to assist countries and citizens that needed assistance.”
