Cuba will ratify its commitment to strengthening the CELAC community

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel is expected to speak on Friday at the regional event marking the tenth anniversary of the signing in Havana of the declaration of Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace.

The President will hold an intense day of meetings and discussions at the summit, during which the island will continue to contribute to the strengthening of CELAC, said Advisor Bruno Rodriguez, on the social network X.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is hosting the event that brings together leaders and other government leaders from the bloc's 33 countries.

The summit will be held at the Sandals Resort in Bucamint Bay, and at its opening, local Foreign Minister Kesal M. Peters, reports on the management of St. Vincent and the Grenadines at the head of the organization.

CELAC emerged in December 2011 with the aim of promoting the political, economic, social and cultural unity and integration of member states.

With this meeting, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines will deposit its mandate at the head of the bloc, becoming the first member of the Caribbean Community to assume this responsibility.
