Recalling the date, the Cuban Foreign Ministry stated on Twitter that bilateral ties are based on respect, solidarity and mutual support.

Cuba and Saint Lucia maintain close collaborative relations, which is expressed in permanent high-level contacts.

More than 100 Cuban medical specialists went to that neighboring nation to support the fight against Covid-19, while cooperation in general has allowed the training of young doctors from Saint Lucia in Cuba.

Saint Lucia maintains a consistent and repeated position of rejection of the United States blockade against Cuba, which is reflected in its support for the resolution on the necessity to put an end to this policy, which is annually submitted and approved by an overwhelming majority at the United Nations General Assembly.
