Observing CARICOM Cuba Day

In a statement, the Secretariat embraced CARICOM Cuba Day, an annual observance that was inaugurated back in 2002. 

This day serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between CARICOM member states and Cuba, highlighting the invaluable contributions made by the latter to the development of the Caribbean community.

A crucial pillar of support

The Secretariat underscored Cuba’s unwavering commitment to bolstering the CARICOM Community’s human resource capacity. 

Over the past half-century, Cuba has played a pivotal role in achieving this goal, primarily through extensive scholarship programs spanning various fields of study. These programs have encompassed critical domains such as medicine and agriculture.
