Support the fight against the economic, trade and financial blockade of the United States, with vigorous demonstrations of solidarity in cities of all latitudes. The global demand to remove Cuba from the rejected list of state sponsors of terrorism, as well as the deep and consistent presidencies of the Group of 77 and China, have further elevated Cuba’s prestige in its relations with the world.

In 2023, Cuba maintained diplomatic relations with 195 states: of these 190 are full members of the United Nations, another five (Palestine, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Cook Islands, Holy See and Niue), reaching 197 with the Sovereign Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta, as well as with the European Union.

No matter how much her enemies have wanted to isolate her, the prestige of her largely human work reaffirms that Cuba is not alone. As part of it, she received 172 top-level visits.

“It advanced its foreign policy objectives and maintained its traditional activism and prestige in international and regional organizations and forums,” Cuba’s Foreign Ministry posted on its website, citing last year’s political results.

«In the legal field, we signed 29 government agreements, with the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Honduras, Serbia, Russia, the United Kingdom, Algeria, Namibia, Rwanda, Burundi, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, the Saudi Fund, the French Development Agency and the European Union, which cover relevant issues for the Cuban people and for the development of the nation,” highlighted the Foreign Ministry.

The visits of the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba had a great resonance, especially in New York, a city where, right in the middle of the street, affection and respect for the Greater Antilles and its Revolution emerged.

“Support for the Palestinian cause and the fight for a more just and equitable democratic world order, based on International Law and the sovereign equality of States,” constituted another example of Cuba’s position on world peace and international law.
