We participate in the general assemblies of the Ibero-American Sports Council, the Central American Sports Council, and the American Sports Council, of which Cuba is a member, as Johslin Ramiro finally expressed in an interview with Prensa Latina.

Venezuela was unable to attend, as it even has a permanent representative at the United Nations who traveled to Washington, D.C., and they did not give him permission to enter the event. As for Cuba, and the obstacles and its presence here, it received different treatment from other countries. , he added. .
“Based on the discriminatory measures we took, Cuba first submitted a proposal so that the United States could not host these events because they do not allow equal conditions for all member states of these organizations,” Ramiro stressed.
He pointed out that we also demanded that Cuba's complaint against total discrimination based on participation in these events appear in every record of these bodies.
Ender's Director of Training and Development also noted that in the course of developing the event, Cuba conveyed what “we are capable of doing based on the development of the sport.”
