Barbados’ Prime Minister and the chairman of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) today renewed calls for an end to the 60 years of trade and financial embargo against Cuba.Mottley said the international trade embargo was not “rational” while President of Suriname and chairman of CARICOM Chandrikapersad Santokhi labelled the action “unjust” and against the United Nation’s principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.“Much of what has transpired over the last six decades has no foundation in rational behaviour nor does it have any reflection of the values which we hold as Caribbean people with respect to the embargo which has been placed on the people of Cuba for over six decades,” Mottley told the second day of the Eighth CARICOM CUBA Summit being held here at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre.
