Grenada’s Prime Minister, Dickon Mitchell, issues a call for the United States to remove Cuba from the list of countries labelled as sponsoring terrorism, and to end the economic blockade on the Spanish-speaking Caribbean nation.
Back home Sunday from his official three-day visit to Cuba, Prime Minister Mitchell noted that while Cuba has had to face with the US blockade for so many years, it has not closed itself off from the World.
Prime Minister Mitchell’s visit coincided with the 45th anniversary of Cuba-Grenada diplomatic relations.
At a News Conference today, Foreign Affairs Minister, Joseph Andall, was asked whether Grenada is prepared, apart from calling for the end of the US Blockade, to offer any deliverables to Cuba on the basis that the Spanish-speaking country is reportedly facing an acute food crisis.
