The National Assembly has condemned the continued listing of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism by the US, arguing it undermines Cuba's contributions to international peace and security.
On April 16, 2024, the National Assembly passed a resolution urging the US to delist Cuba.
The resolution highlights Namibia's solidarity with Cuba, condemns the unfounded US designation, and addresses the severe humanitarian impact of the associated sanctions on Cuba's economy and its people.
It calls for dialogue, diplomacy, and adherence to international law, urging the global community to support Cuba.
During the parliamentary debate, MPs stressed the historical friendship and cooperation between Namibia and Cuba, citing that country's support during Namibia's struggle for independence and ongoing collaborations in the health and education sectors.
