Addressing the 365th Meeting of the Council of the Agency for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (OPANAL), Yeni Garcia, Second Secretary at the Cuban Embassy in Mexico, updated the member nations on the situation in her country.

Garcia stated that the unprecedented escalation of Washington’s aggressive measures is causing severe shortages and is aimed at destabilizing and provoking a confrontation or military intervention by the United States in the Caribbean island.

The Cuban diplomatic mission informed on X that the delegate reaffirmed the Cuban government’s willingness to continue actively contributing to the work of the Agency and noted that her country is a nation of peace.

The Cuban representative emphasized the growing rhetoric of threat against Cuba by the US administration and argued that the intensification of unilateral coercive measures against the Cuban people, including the energy embargo, was a serious concern.

Garcia also warned that a military aggression against the Caribbean nation would have incalculable consequences for both countries, the region, and international peace and security.
