Georgetown : Guyana will be joining its CARICOM partners to commemorate 40 years of diplomatic relations with the Republic of Cuba on December 8 with a series of activities including cultural events, special public engagements, and interviews with key stakeholders.
The highlight of the anniversary celebrations will be the grand reception on December 8.
Four independent CARICOM countries Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Guyana broke the diplomatic embargo and recognised the Republic of Cuba on December 8, 1972.
Guyana and Cuba have continued to build upon the spirit of cooperation that has characterised their diplomatic relations and which has contributed to the development of Guyana’s human resource base especially in the areas of education and health.
In October, President Donald Ramotar visited Cuba where the bilateral programme of cooperation was further advanced with the signing of agreements on the exemption of visa requirements for holders of diplomatic, official and service passports and cooperation in the areas of sports and health.
Guyana also informed Cuba of its decision to exempt Cuban nationals from visa requirements to enter and remain in Guyana for periods not exceeding 90 days for the holders of all categories of passports.
