Fifty-third Anniversary of CARICOM-Cuba Relations
The eighth of December 2025 marks the Fifty-Third Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago, the four then independent Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Member States, and Cuba. That bold act of 8 December 1972 has evolved steadily into a fruitful and mutually beneficial friendship between all CARICOM Member States and Cuba.
Since that landmark date, the friendly and close relationship that unites CARICOM and Cuba has become an admirable demonstration of South-South Cooperation. Our partnership has been strengthened by regular bilateral meetings, eight (8) Summits and six (6) Ministerial Meetings. The Ninth CARICOM-Cuba Summit, to be held in Havana in March 2026, will provide another opportunity for an exchange on a wide range of bilateral, hemispheric and global issues that are of mutual interest and concern, as well as on areas for further cooperation, including trade, education and public health.
The Caribbean Community and Cuba continue to face serious challenges. These include the impact of global warming and transnational crime, economic and financial hardship, and the negative effects of natural disasters such as Hurricane Melissa.
We must continue to work together to tackle these obstacles. In this spirit, we reaffirm our enduring commitment to regional solidarity, and to the principle of respect for the sovereignty and self-determination of all nations.

Why is America always on the War Path to solve issues? It use to be Diplomacy that solved issues in the 70s and 80s. Burt then suddenly since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Fall of the Soviet Union they feel there is no other Super Power to challenge them. So they do everything with the power of their military. But by now they should have known that NO ONE really is scare for their military power. They have learned their lessons in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. All the bombing they throw on the people never earned them an inch of victory. It only made them a hatred nation. They used to welcome Americans all over as the big Liberators. Not anymore. Now they are seen as the Big Bully. You’re either my friend or my enemy. And to be a friend you do as I say. If not you are my enemy. Will they ever change to become the Loved Nation of the World.
Meanwhile China is winning hearts with Kindness, Goodness, Compassion and Care. And this is Biblical. You will know them by their Love. Another saying is, you catch more flies with honey.
Cuba has also been showing us nothing but love. Assist us in everything where they can help. And even offering us free education.
