Cuba Strengthens Fight Against Terrorism Through Cooperation with the USA

In early February, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement clearly expressing its stance on the threats related to terrorism on the international stage. The document includes a declaration of intent to resume intensive cooperation with the United States and other global partners to strengthen regional and global security.

Firm Position on Terrorism and Extremism

Cuba, in its statement, categorically denies any presence or support of terrorist or extremist organizations on its territory. The Havana government emphasized its adoption of a policy of absolute intolerance towards the financing of terrorist activities and money laundering operations. It declared its commitment to combat all forms of illegal financial transactions in accordance with international guidelines and financial security standards.

Multilateral Cooperation in Security Fields

The statement includes a proposal to revive a framework for technical cooperation with the USA in several key areas. This cooperation would encompass advanced preventive measures against terrorism, comprehensive programs to counter money laundering, actions to prevent drug trafficking, strengthening cybersecurity capabilities, and collaboration in combating human trafficking and financial crime.

Cuba committed to modernizing and expanding its legislative framework to provide an appropriate legal basis for achieving these ambitious public and international security goals, demonstrating its engagement in the global fight against terrorism and organized crime.
