The president of the Gambia-Cuba Friendship Association, Joseph Modou Peh Grant, and other friends such as Peter Goddard, congratulated the Caribbean island on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
In separate messages sent to the Cuban Embassy, Grant and Goddard reiterated their solidarity with Cuba and high-lighted the strong ties; especially in the field of health.
They also advocated that bilateral ties be strengthened even further in the future through diplomacy.
The president of the Friendship Association recalled Cuba’s support to the fight for independence and sovereignty of the nations of Africa, and more recently in the battle against the Covid19 pandemic, without ever asking anything in return.
For his part, Goddard wrote that Cuba should be eliminated from the US’s spurious list of countries that sponsor ter-rorism.
A Gambian diplomat spoke similarly, saying that “the US has to eliminate Cuba from that illegitimate list so that the oldest Caribbean archipelago is allowed access to markets and other opportunities, and flourishes as a prosperous nation.”
