During this interview, which lasted nearly twenty minutes, the Cuban diplomat underlined that President Raul Castro had headed the Cuban Delegation to the aforesaid Summit, an event which took place when the region would commemorate the Cuba-Caricom Day and the thirty-ninth anniversary of the joint decision adopted by Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago to establish diplomatic relations with Cuba on December 8, 1972. Ambassador Gala López explained that this brave gesture, staged by those four Caribbean countries, gave birth to the excellent ties Cuba enjoys today with the nations making up the CARICOM. He emphasized that Cuba has embassies in the fourteen independent countries members of the CARICOM, while 13 members of the organization have a diplomatic representation in our country. Likewise, the Cuban diplomat offered information on the cooperation provided by Cuba to Jamaica and other CARICOM countries.

During this radio interview, Ambassador Yuri Gala availed himself of the opportunity to reiterate the denunciation of the U.S. unjust blockade against Cuba and recalled that the 66th UNGA session had adopted unanimously, the text of the resolution which calls into question that unilateral policy.
