Ulises Estrada

politician

Ulises Estrada served as the Cuban ambassador to Jamaica during a pivotal period in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His tenure coincided with significant political shifts in Jamaica, particularly during the leadership of Prime Minister Michael Manley, who fostered strong ties with Cuba. However, Estrada's diplomatic relations faced challenges when the Jamaica Labour Party, under Edward Seaga, took office and expelled him, reflecting the tumultuous nature of Jamaican-Cuban relations at the time. Estrada's role highlights the complexities of international diplomacy, especially in the context of ideological differences during the Cold War.
