Last August, the Prime Minister of the Republic, Manuel Marrero Cruz visited Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, to participate in the First Regional Meeting of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (Caricom).

During a meeting with the Bahamian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Aviation, and Investment, Chester Cooper, they agreed on the relevance of expanding bilateral cooperation.

Every year, the Commonwealth of the Bahamas unites its vote in the United Nations in favor of lifting the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed on Cuba by the US government.

At the 9th Peoples' Summit, Davis pronounced himself in favor of the end of this genocide and stated that it is the longest in modern times. (Source: ACN)
