Postal stamp canceled to celebrate 50 years of relations between Cuba and Caricom

Havana, Dec 12 (RHC) The Cuban Foreign Ministry commemorated Monday the 50th anniversary of relations with the first four independent states of the Caribbean Community (Caricom), with the cancellation of a postage stamp.

 

Through his Twitter account, the general director for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Eugenio Martínez Enríquez, informed that the ceremony took place at the headquarters of that institution, with the participation of the first deputy minister, Gerardo Peñalver.

On December 8, 1972, the leaders of Jamaica (Michael Manley), Trinidad and Tobago (Eric Williams), Guyana (Forbes Burnham), and Barbados (Errol Barrow) established relations with Havana, favoring the end of the diplomatic isolation of the Cuban Revolution in the Western Hemisphere.

 

In the following year, Caricom was created, which has maintained strong ties with Cuba, and as proof of this, all its member states have representation, at the level of their own diplomatic missions, the only Latin American country where this occurs.

 

Since 2002, the Summits of Heads of State and Government of the Caricom-Cuba mechanism have been held every three years, with venues in Havana and the Community States (Source: ACN).
