Statement by the Cuban Alumni Association of Sri Lanka on US Designating Cuba as State Sponsor of Terrorism
The Cuban Alumni Association of Sri Lanka (CAASL) vehemently condemns the inclusion of Cuba in the 2021 list of State sponsors of terrorism, by the outgoing United States administration.
Cuba’s international conduct does not in anyway warrant that designation. This further attack on the country adversely affects its international standing and its social, human and economic development. It is another misguided action in addition to the unproductive, unnecessary, and illegal financial and economic embargo already imposed on Republic of Cuba by the United States.
Cuban Alumni Association of Sri Lanka demands for the immediate review and reversal of these unjustified actions taken with regard to Cuba. We earnestly look forward to the new administration of United States moving towards reconciliation, regularizing relations with Cuba.
