Paris, October 30 (RHC)-- Cuba Linda and France Cuba solidarity associations urged President Emmanuel Macron to promote scientific cooperation with the island to seek joint responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a letter sent to the head of state, to which Prensa Latina had access, the organizations recalled that France votes every year in the UN General Assembly against the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on the island, a position that they called for to be materialized with actions.

It is time to take concrete decisions accordingly, and to promote cooperation between French and Cuban research laboratories in the interest of our two countries,' they stressed.

The letter signed by Cuba Linda President Linda Didier Lalande and France Cuba President Didier Philippe calls on Macron to use the mechanisms adopted by the European Union in 1996 to protect companies and banks from the extraterritorial scope of the blockade applied by Washington for six decades.

In this sense, the call urges him to promote a Paris-Havana cooperation in the field of health, in which the successes and advances of the island were outstanding, despite the impact of the blockade tightened by the government of Donald Trump.

The associations recognized Cuba's results in the confrontation with the Covid-19 and its international solidarity, which in recent months reached almost 40 countries and territories, including the Europeans Andorra and Italy and the French overseas department of Martinique.

In the face of the pandemic, and even if the Western press does not echo it, a small country controls the situation better than the others, that country is Cuba, not only because of its original and effective management, but also because of the support it gives to the medical teams of many others, even in the heart of Europe, they stated in the letter to Macron.

Cuba Linda and France Cuba are an active part of the international campaign with the request to award the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize to the Henry Reeve medical brigades for their support and role in the global struggle against Covid-19.
