Cuba condemns terrorism and reaffirms its cooperation in matters of security and the fight against money laundering.

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Cuba unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, while reaffirming its commitment to cooperate with the United States and other nations to strengthen regional and international security.

Cuba categorically declares that it does not harbor, support, finance, or tolerate terrorist or extremist organizations. Our country upholds a zero-tolerance policy against the financing of terrorism and money laundering, and is committed to the prevention, detection, and confrontation of illicit financial activities, consistent with international standards.

Any prior contacts with individuals who were later designated as terrorists occurred exclusively within narrowly defined humanitarian contexts, associated with internationally recognized peace processes, undertaken at the request of their respective governments, and carried out with complete transparency.

Cuba does not host foreign military bases or intelligence installations and firmly rejects being portrayed as a threat to the security of the United States. It has never engaged in hostile actions against that country, nor will it permit its territory to be used against any other nation.

Cuba, on the contrary, is prepared to resume and broaden bilateral cooperation with the United States in addressing shared transnational threats, while unwaveringly defending its sovereignty and independence.

Cuba proposes to renew technical cooperation with the United States in fields such as counterterrorism, antimoney laundering, drug trafficking prevention, cybersecurity, human trafficking, and financial crimes, and remains committed to reinforcing its legal framework to sustain these efforts, recognizing that progress has been achieved whenever both parties have demonstrated the will to cooperate.

The Cuban people and the American people derive mutual benefit from constructive engagement, lawful cooperation, and peaceful coexistence. Cuba reiterates its willingness to sustain a respectful and reciprocal dialogue with the Government of the United States, directed toward concrete outcomes, grounded in mutual interest and international law.

Havana, February 1, 2026.
