An activist is calling on CARICOM to explore the possibility of including Cuba as a member state, arguing that such a move would strengthen regional unity and support for the island nation.

The appeal came from President of the Barbados-Cuba Friendship Association, David Denny, during a protest staged outside the United States Embassy today.

The demonstration focused on what Mr. Denny described as the United States’ energy blockade against Cuba.
