The Victoria de Girón brigade, from the Finland-Cuba Friendship Association, visits Las Tunas once more. Its members expressed their rejection to the Helms-Burton Act.
The Ambassador of Cuba in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Vilma Reyes Valdespino, participated in the activity, organized by the Embassy of Venezuelan in that Eastern Caribbean country, to commemorate the 198th anniversary of the Battle of Carabobo, a decisive feat in the independence of Venezuela from the Spanish yoke.
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
On June 20, 2019, the US State Department added Cuba to the lowest tier in its 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report. The Report claims that “Cuba does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so.”
This ranking has conceivably nothing to do with Cuba’s true performance in actively combating trafficking in persons and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs absolutely rejects it for being a complete slander.
