The Embassy of St Vincent and the Grenadines in Cuba last Saturday, May30, 2026, hosted an event to celebrate the 34th anniversary of diplomatic relations between St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) and the Republic of Cuba.
More than 36 ambassadors and chargé d’affaires accredited to Cuba and Cuban government officials, and other guests joined Ambassador Angella Jackson, and Vincentian students studying in Cuba at the event, an Embassy release states.
Ambassador Jackson told the gathering that the diplomatic ties represent “three and a half decades of a friendship built on respect, solidarity, and cooperation between brotherly peoples”.
She said that Cuba has trained hundreds of Vincentian professionals, sent doctors when SVG needed them most, and shared its knowledge through projects that transformed the country.
“Argyle International Airport, the Georgetown Diagnostic Centre, and the daily work of your medical brigade in Kingstown are proof that this friendship is not only diplomatic but also human,” Ambassador Jackson is reported to have said.
The ambassador added that SVG has stood with Cuba in international fora, “defending its sovereignty and raising our voice against the blockade because we believe that true friendship is shown in difficult times”.
