The third Cuba / CARICOM Summit will be held in Cuba next month.
The December 8 will analyze vital topics for both sides, including the agreements signed in previous meetings.
Heads of state and government from the countries of the Caribbean Community will take part in this summit that was previously held in Havana, Cuba in 2002 and in Bridgetown, Barbados in 2005.
It is also expected that the discussions will be attended by other CARICOM authorities and representatives from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and the Association of Caribbean States (ACS).
According to Prensa Latina news agency, the summit will be an opportunity to further develop programs of cooperation and integration between Cuba and CARICOM member nations.
On November 8, 1972, four CARICOM states – Barbados, the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago - decided to establish relations with Cuba and thus opposed the policy of isolation implemented by Washington towards Cuba.
Currently, Cuba has embassies in 14 CARICOM member nations and 11 of these countries have diplomatic representations in Havana. That number is expected to increase to 12 before the end of the year. Source : www.positivetourism.net
