Miami, Florida (CaymanMama.com) — The nation of Cuba has formally turned down an offer to rejoin the Organization of American States (OAS), confirming the strong opposition of Fidel Castro who has long insisted his island has no use for the organization.
The OAS conducted a vote last week to determine whether or not to lift a suspension of Cuba’s membership.
A statement issued Monday in the communist newspaper Granma said the Cuban government is pleased “with this expression of sovereignty and community” but reiterates that the country “will not return to the OAS.”
According to the Associated Press, “It said the OAS has long supported Washington’s hostility toward Cuba and that this country prefers to retain its independence.”
The United States supported the decision to lift the suspension of Cuba’s membership.
