The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) under the Chairmanship of Grenada Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell has issued a fresh call for the lifting of what is describes as the unjust unilateral financial, economic, and trade embargo on Cuba by the United States of America.
In a statement the 47th Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community said it is gravely concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Cuba resulting from the embargo wrongfully imposed on the people and Government of Cuba over the last 62 years by the Government of the United States of America.
The Conference reiterated its call in light of the depth of the humanitarian situation, and CARICOM Heads of Government have agreed to provide material support to assist Cuba.
CARICOM said it considers the US State Department’s ongoing inclusion of Cuba on its list of State Sponsors of Terrorism as wrong and offensive.
The Conference reiterated its call for Cuba to be immediately removed from this list.
