REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT INFORMATION
Following the request submitted by the U.S. government that a delegation presided over by the CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, be received in Havana, the Revolutionary Directorate approved the realization of this visit and the meeting with its counterpart from the Ministry of the Interior.
The meeting took place this Thursday, May 14, in a context characterized by the complexity of bilateral relations, in order to contribute to political dialogue between the two nations, as part of the efforts to address the current scenario.
The elements provided by the Cuban side and the exchanges held with the U.S. delegation made it possible to categorically demonstrate that Cuba does not constitute a threat to the national security of the U.S., nor are there legitimate reasons to include it on the list of countries that, allegedly, sponsor terrorism.
During the meeting, the consistency and coherence of our country’s historical position with the actions of the Cuban government and its competent authorities in confronting and unequivocally condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations could be verified.
Once again, it was evidenced that the Island does not harbor, support, finance, or permit terrorist or extremist organizations; nor are there foreign military or intelligence bases on its territory, and it has never supported any hostile activity against the U.S. nor will it allow actions against another nation to be carried out from Cuba.
The interest of both parties in developing bilateral cooperation between law enforcement and compliance agencies was also made clear, for the sake of the security of both nations, as well as regional and international security.
