Paris, 5 October 2026. — The proceedings of the 225th session of the UNESCO Executive Board began today, 5 October, at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. The session will take place from 5 to 20 October 2026.

The session of the Executive Board is taking place against a backdrop of significant challenges to multilateralism and international cooperation, as UNESCO advances a process of institutional reform and transformation within the framework of the UNESCO 80 Roadmap.

Cuba’s participation in this session takes place under particularly challenging circumstances for the country. The intensification of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the Government of the United States, including its impact on access to energy resources, continues to have serious economic and humanitarian consequences for the Cuban population. UNESCO itself has acknowledged the effects of external restrictions on access to fuel and their repercussions on essential services, including education in Cuba.

Cypriot aid to Cuba is stuck in Panamá.

U.S. threats block food, medicine, and medical equipment

By Kostis Pitsilloudis

Humanitarian aid collected in Cyprus for the Cuban people has been stuck in Panama for months, while transport companies face threats and sanctions from the United States.

The complaint was presented by AKEL MP and Political Bureau member Giorgos Koukoumas during a two-day event held at the European Parliament (09/30-10/01) initiated by the Left Group. The two-day event, titled 'Cuba Yes, Blockade No,' examined the political, economic, and humanitarian consequences of U.S. measures.

The first day focused on its impact on the economy, health, and daily life, while the second highlighted initiatives of international solidarity and medical cooperation with Cuba. A central topic was the escalation of the economic and energy blockade against Cuba by the Trump administration, as well as the stance of the European Union, which condemns U.S. extraterritorial sanctions but in practice does not protect companies and organizations trying to deliver aid to the country.

Dili, October 5, 2026. The ETTG Business Group, based in Timor-Leste, organized a farewell reception for Ambassador Caitlin Wilson, who will soon conclude her diplomatic mission. The event recognized the Australian diplomat’s achievements, work, leadership, and enthusiasm.
The gathering was attended by members of the Timorese government and the diplomatic corps, who showed their support for Head of Mission Caitlin Wilson. Representing the Cuban Embassy was its chief representative, Alina Aldama, who had the opportunity to speak with members of the presidential team.

Nicosia, Cyprus. October 4, 2026. - Cypriots and Cubans of various generations enjoyed a special “Cuban Night” this Saturday at the “Argaka” venue of Pas To Kima in Paphos, where music, food, and the Caribbean and Latin atmosphere paid tribute to Cuban culture, with performances by Roberto Javier Cuellar Gutiérrez and the group Salsa Chiquita.

The evening had the support of the Cuban diplomatic mission in Nicosia, and although it took place in the days leading up to the commemoration of October 20, Cuban Culture Day, it represented an early "nod" from the artists to that date, from the paradise-like shores of the westernmost coast of Cyprus.

Without a doubt, a Saturday gift for the locals and visiting travellers who made their way to Paphos to enjoy that “vocal and musical gem of Cuban-ness", offered through the performances of the host ensemble and their wide repertoire with the best of Latin songs, bolero, and feeling in the “Made in Cuba” style.
