As of Friday, December 1, 2017

THE Bahamas and Cuba are celebrating 43 years of diplomatic relations this year.

According to a statement from the Embassy of Cuba to the Bahamas, both countries officially established diplomatic relations on November 30, 1974 and since then the two countries have signed a number of mutually beneficial agreements.

"Working together in the fields of education, health, sports, agriculture, national security and culture, to name a few, has been essential for both countries," the Cuban embassy said.

'Today, the Bahamas and Cuba have achieved 43 years of uninterrupted diplomatic relations. Friendship, respect and solidarity have been the pillars for a solid [relationship] between our two small nations. While celebrating this important anniversary, let us take the opportunity to think about ways to further strengthen the bilateral ties for many more years to come."

Why "attempt" to re-write and in the process offend our History, as not much friendship, much less mutual respect was shown on 10th May, 1980 with the sinking of HMBS Flamingo.

Why does the Bahamian Goverment (MOE) recruit Cuban teachers for our public schools???? ..... Very few of these Cuban teachers are competent and culturally equipped to teach in our public schools ........ Who vets these Cuban teachers?????? ........ And are they really trained teachers????? ...... The Minister needs to look into the present cohort of Cuban teachers in the public schools.
