Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel react during a ceremony at the Revolution Palace in Havana, Cuba, May 8, 2022. - Yamil Lage/Pool via ReutersPeter McKenna, a professor of political science at the University of Prince Edward Island in Charlottetown, provided the following opinion article.
It’s worth pointing out that Cuba-Mexico relations, historically speaking, have been decidedly close and fraternal – especially during successive PRI governments in Mexico. The extraordinarily positive nature of bilateral relations have also been a function of Mexico’s own revolutionary history, Fidel Castro’s exile to Mexico in the mid-1950s and fraught relations with the United States.
Two years later, the Fox government once again signed on to a UN resolution in Geneva condemning Cuba’s record on human rights. Not unlike in 2002, Fidel Castro responded with an angry May Day speech that criticized Mexico for endorsing such an act of disloyalty and a plainly U.S.-orchestrated measure. He went on to add that Mexico’s influence and prestige on the world stage would now be “turned into ashes.
According to AMLO, “I offer President Miguel Díaz-Canel that Mexico is going to lead a more active movement so that all the countries unite and defend the independence and sovereignty of Cuba.”
