Monrovia, June 5, 2024 - Cuban Head of Mission Mercedes L. Martínez Herrera held a positive exchange with the Vice President of the Republic of Liberia H.E. Jeremiah Kpan Koung.

The Cuban diplomat conveyed on behalf of the Cuban government congratulations on his election and expressed her willingness to continue strengthening Cuba-Liberia bilateral relations on the basis of cordiality and mutual respect.

The meeting took place in a cordial and fraternal atmosphere.

Cuba's Minister of Public Health, José Ángel Portal, said today that for his country it is a duty to accompany the peoples of the world in the protection of health, regardless of complex scenarios.

The message came during a meeting with members of the Alliance for Health Development in Africa and the Caribbean who are participating in the 77th World Health Assembly, an event taking place this week in Geneva, Switzerland.

For Portal, it is impossible to talk about Cuban medical cooperation without mentioning our history of cooperation in Africa and the Caribbean.

Monrovia, May 29, 2024 - Cuban Head of Mission Mercedes L. Martinez held a fraternal exchange with the recently elected President Pro Tempore of the Liberian Senate, Honorable Nyonblee Karnga Lawrence.

The meeting was propitious for the Cuban diplomat to convey her willingness to continue strengthening bilateral relations at the parliamentary level.

Hon. Lawrence is the second woman in the history of the Liberian Senate to head the Senate as President Pro Tempore.

These measures are limited in scope and do not target the essence of the blockade against Cuba nor the additional sanctions that make up the maximum pressure policy.  Once again, this US government decision relies on its own distorted view of the Cuban reality, for it intends to artificially separate the private sector from the public sector, when they are both part of Cuba’s entrepreneurial system and the Cuban society as a whole.
