Grateful UPP lauds Cuba for its contributions to Antigua and Barbuda and to the Party
The United Progressive Party (UPP) extends its profound gratitude, admiration, and respect to the hundreds of medical professionals who have served the Nation of Antigua and Barbuda through the generous assistance of the Government and People of the Republic of Cuba.
In addition to the many doctors and medical personnel trained via her largesse, we commend the Cuban medical system for its Eye-Care Programme, which not only brought blessed relief to hundreds of our citizens and residents, but was a hallmark of the United Progressive Party Administration under the Hon. Baldwin Spencer.
The UPP also recognizes and is grateful for the education and training of hundreds of our students in various disciplines – which, on their own, the average family could never have afforded. Accordingly, Cuba has directly lifted many graduates and their families out of poverty and into a brighter future.
Further, the UPP acknowledges the genuine love, respect, and affection that Cuban officials have shown to Brother Spencer and other Party representatives – in and out of office – during our long and happy relationship.
It is unfortunate that the mutually beneficial partnership our two countries forged has been ended so abruptly by the sitting Administration; but we assure the Government and People of Cuba that the United Progressive Party is neither ungrateful nor forgetful.
Out of your little you gave much – without taking – and we will continue to carry you in our hearts and in our prayers.
