Cuban Am­bas­sador to Trinidad and To­ba­go, Gus­ta­vo D Veliz Oli­vares, has re­it­er­at­ed his coun­try’s con­dem­na­tion of ter­ror­ism and called for Cu­ba’s re­moval from the Unit­ed States’ list of state spon­sors of ter­ror­ism.

Speak­ing at a com­mem­o­ra­tive cer­e­mo­ny mark­ing Cari­com-Cu­ba Day Against Ter­ror­ism at Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port yes­ter­day, Am­bas­sador Oli­vares high­light­ed Cu­ba’s decades-long ex­pe­ri­ence as a vic­tim of ter­ror rather than a per­pe­tra­tor.

“Cu­ba is not a ter­ror­ist coun­try and does not spon­sor any ter­ror­ism. On the con­trary, Cu­ba has been a vic­tim of ter­ror­ism for more than 60 years,” he stat­ed.
