Congratulatory letter sent to the Cuban Embassy in Australia

The following letter of congratulations was sent by the Central Committee of the CPA (M-L) to the Cuban Embassy in Australia following breakthrough joint announcements by Raul Castro of Cuba and Barak Obama of the USA on improvements to relations between the two countries.

Dear Comrades,

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist) congratulates the Cuban people on their hard-won victory over the US imperialist economic, political and diplomatic blockade of their country.

Under the leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba, the Government and people of the Republic of Cuba have shown their resilience and courage in standing up to the US imperialists and their repeated attempts at interference, subversion, bullying and control. In a word, the imperialists have failed.

In recent years, Cuba has been a linchpin of renewed anti-imperialism on the Latin American continent. A multipolar world has emerged to embrace Cuba despite the attempts by US imperialism to keep it isolated.

We rejoice also at news of the release of the remaining members of the unjustly imprisoned Cuban Five.

The imperialists will never willingly co-exist with socialist countries. They have been forced to back away from a failed policy, but will still persist with attempts at destabilisation and “change from within”. We are confident that the Cuban Party, people and government will maintain their independence and their socialist orientation.

With warmest regards,

(signed)

Nick G.
