Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office written question – answered on 15th February 2023.
Fabian Hamilton
Shadow Minister (Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs)
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of comments made by Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian expressing Iran's definite support for Cuba and condemning sanctions and foreign interference against Havana.
David Rutley
Assistant Whip (HM Treasury), Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
UK policy towards Cuba is not affected by comments made by Iran's Foreign Minister. The UK has a longstanding policy of engagement with Cuba. Our relationship allows us to collaborate positively in areas of mutual interest and to talk frankly on matters where our views and interests differ. We have consistently voted in the UN to oppose the US embargo on Cuba. We continue to draw attention to human rights violations in Iran and Cuba.
