Havana, June 28 (ACN) The immediate exclusion of Cuba from the list of countries that supposedly sponsor terrorism stands out as a demand reiterated during the 54th General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS), which culminates today in Asunción, Paraguay .
According to the Cuban Foreign Ministry in X, Luis Gilberto Murillo, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, thanked the largest of the Antilles for its efforts to contribute to the search for peace in his country.
He recalled Havana’s support in the peace agreements between the Government and the defunct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army (FARC-EP), as well as, at present, in the negotiation of agreements with the Liberation Army National, within the framework of the Government’s total peace policy.
Aligned with the conviction that peace is the main democratic value, Colombia requested at the forum that Cuba be excluded from Washington’s aforementioned list.
Bolivia’s ambassador to the OAS, Héctor Arce, rejected any unilateral and unjustified qualification of one State over another, and specifically, the inclusion of the largest of the Antilles in the list of States sponsoring terrorism.
Arce criticized the economic, commercial and financial blockades that seek to bring about political changes based on the deprivation of their people, and pointed out that they are a direct violation of the economic and social rights of the population.
Likewise, the Foreign Minister of Grenada, Joseph Andall, called for the elimination of the United States blockade against Cuba, and for the island to be removed from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, a designation that he considered an injustice.
