The Commonwealth of Dominica has issued a powerful statement of solidarity with the Republic of Cuba, condemning the decades-long economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed on the island nation. This unilateral measure, described as unjust and outdated, has caused immense hardship for the Cuban people, restricting access to essential resources, stifling national development, and limiting Cuba’s engagement with the global community. Despite these challenges, Cuba has emerged as a symbol of humanitarianism, providing critical medical, educational, and technical assistance to countries worldwide, including its Caribbean neighbors. Dominica emphasized that the blockade violates international law, human rights, and the principles of the United Nations Charter, calling it a relic of a bygone era that undermines peace and mutual respect. The statement, issued on October 29, 2025, in Roseau, joins the global chorus demanding the immediate and unconditional lifting of the blockade. Dominica also expressed profound gratitude for Cuba’s enduring friendship and contributions to the region’s social and economic development, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening ties between the two nations. The message concluded with a call for justice, humanity, and solidarity to prevail.
