‘Dear Comrades
Cuba has been an inspiration to myself and my family. We are ordinary, oppressed proletariat living in London UK. We are always learning from the history of the Cuban people – with myself reading all of Che Guevara’s works in audiobook format. This has helped me understand the plight and successes of the South and Central American peoples – something I was not fully aware of – being influenced (as I am) by the USSR and China experience. When economically able, we have financially supported Cuba as we feel the (illegal) US Blockade is unjust and unnecessary. The Internet has allowed a far more fluid and accessible climate to develop that permits educational exchanges to occur and I have just read a Cuban article in which seeks to assure the US that Cuba stands for peace and cooperation despite all the intellectual and physical violence the US has inflicted on the Cuban people either directly or indirectly. We hope that a Socialist Cuba triumphs once again and manages to successfully ride the waves of dialectical change.
Yours in Comradely Friendship

Statement by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Cuba unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, while reaffirming its commitment to cooperate with the United States and other nations to strengthen regional and international security.
Cuba categorically declares that it does not harbour, support, finance or permit terrorist or extremist organizations. Our country maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards the financing of terrorism and money laundering, and is committed to preventing, detecting and confronting illicit financial activities, in line with international standards.
Any past interactions involving individuals subsequently designated as terrorists occurred only in limited humanitarian contexts, linked to internationally recognized peace processes, at the request of their respective governments, in a fully transparent manner.
Cuba does not host foreign military or intelligence bases and rejects characterization as a threat to U.S. security. Nor has it supported any hostile activity against that country nor will it allow our territory to be used against another nation.
On the contrary, Cuba is ready to reactivate and expand bilateral cooperation with the United States to confront shared transnational threats, without ever renouncing the defense of its sovereignty and independence.
Cuba proposes to renew technical cooperation with the United States in areas including the fight against terrorism, the prevention of money laundering, the fight against drug trafficking, cybersecurity, trafficking in persons and financial crimes, and will continue to strengthen its legal framework to support these efforts, aware that when there has been a will on the part of the parties, progress has been made on these fronts.
The Cuban people and the American people benefit from constructive engagement, cooperation under the law and peaceful coexistence. Cuba reaffirms its readiness to maintain a respectful and reciprocal dialogue aimed at tangible results with the Government of the United States, based on mutual interest and international law.
