Cuba condemns terrorism and reaffirms its cooperation on 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 permit terrorist or extremist organizations. Our country maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward terrorist financing and money laundering, and is committed to preventing, detecting, and combating illicit financial activities, in accordance with international standards.

Any past interaction involving individuals subsequently designated as terrorists occurred solely in limited humanitarian contexts, linked to internationally recognized peace processes, at the request of their respective governments, in a fully transparent manner.

Cuba does not host foreign military or intelligence bases and rejects the characterization that it is a threat to the security of the United States. Nor has it supported any hostile activity against that country, nor will it allow its territory to be used against another nation.

On the contrary, Cuba is willing to reactivate and expand bilateral cooperation with the United States to address shared transnational threats, without ever renouncing the defense of its sovereignty and independence.

Cuba proposes to renew technical cooperation with the United States in areas including counterterrorism, money laundering prevention, combating drug trafficking, cybersecurity, human trafficking, and financial crimes, and will continue to strengthen its legal framework to support these efforts, aware that when there has been willingness on the part of both sides, progress has been made on these fronts.

The Cuban and U.S. peoples benefit from constructive engagement, cooperation in accordance with the law, and peaceful coexistence. Cuba reaffirms its willingness to maintain a respectful and reciprocal dialogue with the U.S. government, aimed at tangible results, based on mutual interest and international law.

Havana, February 1, 2026.
