Guyana was one of 13 CARICOM countries that objected to and threatened boycott of a hastily called special virtual meeting by the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) to address the situation in Cuba as it believed it would serve no purpose, Minister of Foreign Affairs Hugh Todd has confirmed.
“I write on behalf of the following 13 members of the Caribbean Community: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Bahamas, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, regarding your convocation of a Special Meeting of the Permanent Council on July 28th, 2021, to address ‘The Situation in Cuba,’” the letter from CARICOM Ambassador to the OAS, Sir Ronald Sanders, to the OAS Secretary General stated.
