Havana, January 16 (RHC)-- Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez expressed his gratitude to presidents, organizations and friends who supported and welcomed the exclusion of Cuba from the unilateral list of States sponsoring terrorism.

Through his X account, Rodriguez extended his gratitude to all the people and institutions that supported the Caribbean country in its demand to be removed from the list, drawn up by the U.S. State Department.

On Tuesday, the government of Joe Biden removed Cuba from that unilateral list, among other provisions, although the economic blockade and a good part of the dozens of coercive measures that were put into effect since 2017 to reinforce it remain in force.

Washington's decision was described by Havana as an action in the right direction, although limited and late.

To exclude Cuba from the arbitrary list, it should have been enough to recognize the truth, the total absence of reasons for such a designation and the exemplary performance of our country in the fight against terrorism, which has been admitted even by agencies of the United States government, the Cuban Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
