Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre of St. Lucia has insisted that his country's friendship with Cuba remains unchanged.
His comment followed St. Lucia's decision not to participate in this year's United Nations vote, calling for an end to the United States embargo on Cuba.
The decision had raised questions, particularly given Saint Lucia's support for the measure in previous years, voting in favour of ending the embargo as recently as 2025, when 165 countries backed the resolution.
Prime Minister Pierre said the decision not to support the resolution was driven by his country's interests at this time.
He claimed that the move did not signal any cooling of ties with Havana.
