Since yesterday, the Sri Lankan media has made visible in the Sinhala and English languages the text from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Minrex) in Havana that demands that Washington wisely remove the Caribbean nation from the arbitrary list of states that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
The news portal is managed by the Federation of National Organizations, it is made up of more than 50 entities from all over the country and due to its publication in one of the languages of the South Asian nation, it has a wide reach among the population, according to diplomatic sources.
In Sri Lanka, several groups expressed their solidarity with Cuba and their rejection of the unfair designation of the Caribbean island, which, according to a recent Minrex complaint in a statement, is intended to slander the largest of the Antilles and serves as a pretext for the adoption of coercive economic measures.
The Foreign Ministry urged the United States to remove the Caribbean nation from that designation and assured that it is not enough to simply recognize that Cuba cooperates fully with Washington’s anti-terrorist efforts.
He highlighted that there is a loud and repeated global demand that the United States government correct this injustice and stressed that in reality Cuba has been a victim of terrorism, including state terrorism.
The Minrex specified that the White House is aware of the extraordinary damage caused to the Cuban economy by the measures, actions and the intimidating effect that is automatically unleashed against any State that appears mentioned on that list, regardless of what the truth is.
He assured that the American president, Joe Biden, has all the prerogatives to act honestly and do the right thing.
