In a message broadcast through its official account on social network X, the Cuban Foreign Ministry reaffirmed its determination to continue strengthening the historic ties of brotherhood, solidarity and cooperation between our two peoples.

On February 26, 1976, Spain abandoned the Sahara and on February 27, 1976, the Polisario Front proclaimed the SADR, recognized in November 1984 by most of the countries of the then Organization for African Unity, today the African Union, an organization of which it is a full member.

Cuba and SADR established diplomatic ties in the 1980s, when embassies were opened in both territories, but there was an exchange at a political level between the leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba and members of the Polisario Front.
