Belize Calls on U.S. to Remove Cuba from SSOT List

Belize has called on the U.S Government to remove Cuba from its Department of State’s website as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. In a press release issued today, the government expresses deep concern, referring to the U.S. Government’s arbitrary decision to continue to list Cuba as such. The release states in part, quote, The Government of Belize denounces these baseless accusations as there is no evidence that the Government of the Republic of Cuba is involved in any such activities, end quote. In asking the U.S. Government to remove Cuba from the list, Belize urged the U.S to continue the process to normalize bilateral relations with Cuba. Belize says it will continue along with the member states of CARICOM, to call for lifting the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. Government on Cuba as well.
