Colombo, Dec 30 (Prensa Latina) The Sri Lankan Democratic Left Front (DLF) today reiterated its call on the United States to lift the U.S. blockade on Cuba, in a message for the 66th anniversary of the Triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

The letter, signed by its secretary general Vasudeva Nanayakakara, confirms the organization’s solidarity towards the island in the face of current challenges and supports the reestablishment of full diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States.

It also praises the Cuba government and people for their firm resistance against imperialist aggression and celebrates the historic event of January 1, 1959.

DLF recalls this Cuban milestone, led by Fidel Castro and the July 26th Movement, marked a turning point in the history of Latin America, inspiring movements for social justice and self-determination throughout the world.

He pointed out that despite decades of isolation and economic blockade imposed by the United States, the Cuban Revolution has achieved remarkable social and economic progress.

Cuba boast a world-class health care system, a high literacy rate and has made significant progress in education and social welfare.

These achievements are a testimony to the resilience of the Cuban people and the strength of their revolutionary spirit, he said.
