Havana, March 15 (RHC) -- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel reiterated Friday his country's solidarity with the Haitian people, in view of the multidimensional crisis that this Caribbean nation is going through.

The head of state shared on his account on the social network X the statement issued by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Minrex) that underlines the right of Haitians to find a peaceful and lasting solution to the challenges they face, based on full respect for their self-determination, sovereignty and independence.

The text emphasized that the international community has a great debt with Haiti, a country that was the protagonist of the first independence, anti-slavery and social revolution of the continent, "which has suffered the cruel and selfish reprisals of the imperialist powers for more than two centuries".

It specified that the Cuban government maintains a fluid communication and permanent attention to the 53 health collaborators who remain in the south of Haiti, where the situation is calmer, as well as to the other seven who, together with the Cuban embassy staff, are well and have taken the necessary measures for their safety and protection.

The statement detailed that through the Cuban diplomatic mission in Port-au-Prince and from the Minrex, communication has also been maintained with the Cubans residing in Haiti or in transit and their families, and constant follow-up is being given to their situation.

He stressed that Haiti needs real and sufficient assistance and cooperation for its reconstruction and progress, without external interferences that have been the cause of its problems. (Source: Prensa Latina)
