Statement from the Caribbean Community on Cuba

The Forty-Seventh (47th) Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community 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 reiterates 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 assist 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.
