During his speech at the Fourth Cuba-CARICOM Summit —held on Thursday in
Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago—, the president of this regional
organization, the Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Denzil Douglas,
highlighted every nation’s right to sovereignty and self determination.

Douglas reiterated the demand by all CARICOM countries so that Washington
ends this unilateral policy that has caused economic losses to Cuba to the
tune of 975 billion dollars.

The Declaration of Port-of-Spain —approved during the summit by the heads
of state and government— also condemns the implementation by the U.S.
Government of unilateral and coercive laws and measures that violate the
U.N. Charter, international law, and the principles of multilateralism.

Finally, on behalf of all the nations of the region, Douglas sent greeting
to the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.
