Cuba reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening bilateral ties with Saint Lucia on the occasion of the 47th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two nations.
A message issued on X by the Cuban Foreign Ministry (MINREX) expressed Cuba's desire to "continue developing the bonds of friendship and cooperation that unite our peoples and governments."
Saint Lucia, an island nation in the Caribbean Sea, forms part of the Lesser Antilles and boasts a rich cultural heritage. On February 22, 1979, the tropical volcanic island became an independent state.
Cuba and Saint Lucia officially established diplomatic relations on August 23, 1979. Since then, Havana and Castries have fostered a fruitful partnership in healthcare, sports, and other key sectors, further solidifying their enduring bonds of solidarity and friendship.
