The Forty-Seventh Conference of Heads of Government of the Carib-bean Community says it is gravely concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Cuba resulting from the 62-year-old embargo “wrongfully imposed” on the people and Government of the Caribbean nation by the United States of America.
At the end of its July 28-20 meeting in Grenada, the Conference reiterated its call for the lifting of the “unjust unilateral financial, economic, and trade embargo”.
In light of the depth of the humanitarian situation, CARICOM Heads of Government agreed to provide material support to Cuba.
“CARICOM considers the US State Department’s ongoing inclusion of Cuba on its list of State Sponsors of Terrorism as wrong and offensive. The Conference reiterates its call for Cuba to be immediately removed from this list”, a statement from CARICOM said.
