Communiquè from the Revolutionary Government 

Following a request from the U.S. government to receive a delegation in Havana headed by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, the Revolutionary Government approved the visit and the meeting with its counterpart from the Ministry of the Interior.
The meeting took place on Thursday, May 14, in a context characterized by the complexity of bilateral relations, with the aim of contributing to political dialogue between the two nations, as part of the efforts to address the current situation.
The information provided by the Cuban side and the exchanges held with the U.S. delegation categorically demonstrated that Cuba does not constitute a threat to U.S. national security, nor are there any legitimate reasons to include it on the list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
During the meeting, the consistency and coherence of our country's historical position with the actions of the Cuban government and its competent authorities in confronting and unequivocally condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations was evident.
Once again, it was demonstrated that the Island does not harbor, support, finance, or permit terrorist or extremist organizations; there are no foreign military or intelligence bases on its territory, and it has never supported any hostile activity against the U.S. nor will it allow actions against any other nation to be carried out from Cuba.
Furthermore, the interest of both parties in developing bilateral cooperation between law enforcement agencies was clearly demonstrated, for the benefit of the security of both nations, as well as regional and international security.
