The Cuban government has reiterated its zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism and expressed readiness to expand security cooperation with the United States and other partners to confront regional and global threats.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Havana said it unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms, stressing that it neither harbours nor supports terrorist or extremist organisations. The government also reaffirmed its firm opposition to terrorist financing and money laundering, noting that it complies with international standards aimed at preventing and combating illicit financial activities.
Cuba clarified that any past contacts with individuals later designated as terrorists were limited, humanitarian in nature, and linked to internationally recognised peace efforts carried out at the request of relevant governments and in a transparent manner.
Rejecting allegations that it poses a security threat to the United States, the Cuban government emphasised that it does not host foreign military or intelligence bases and has never supported hostile actions against Washington. It further pledged that its territory would not be used to undermine the security of any other nation.
The statement also signalled Cuba’s willingness to revive and broaden bilateral cooperation with the United States on shared transnational challenges, including counterterrorism, prevention of money laundering, drug trafficking, cybersecurity, human trafficking and other financial crimes.
According to the Foreign Ministry, previous cooperation between both countries yielded positive results when there was sufficient political will. Cuba reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening its legal and institutional frameworks in support of international security efforts.
The government said constructive engagement and lawful cooperation would benefit citizens of both countries, reiterating its readiness to maintain respectful dialogue with the U.S. administration based on mutual interests, international law and peaceful coexistence.
