I had a pleasant meeting with Sandra Mason, President of Barbados, to whom I expressed satisfaction for the good state of bilateral relations. We reaffirmed the will to continue strengthening political dialogue and close cooperation relations.

Díaz-Canel will attend the VIII Caricom-Cuba Summit on Tuesday, which will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between Cuba and Jamaica, Guyana, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago.

The Cuban President's Caribbean tour began last Saturday, with his first stop being St. Vincent and the Grenadines. "We confirmed the close ties forged between our peoples and governments over the past three decades, thus consolidating a deep friendship," the President said.
