Cuba reiterates rejection of US pressure against the Region

Havana, Aug 21 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel denounced the United States government's attempts to divide the nations of the region through pressure and blockades.

In a message on the social media platform X, the president affirmed that Washington seeks to “weaken us with hate speech and destabilizing actions, but our history is marked by the resistance and victory of united peoples.”

The president also made this statement the day before when speaking at the 13th Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP).

In his speech, Diaz-Canel described the threat of aggression and violation of the sovereignty of Latin American and Caribbean countries by the US government as unacceptable, which disrupts peace and cooperation in the region.

“We denounce with equal firmness the encouragement and financing of terrorist plans against Venezuela, as well as the false accusations leveled by the United States government against President Nicolas Maduro,” he stated.

Diaz-Canel, who urged the defense of peace and peaceful coexistence among member states as an inalienable right and from realistic positions, emphasized: “The threats looming over Venezuela today are based on the same philosophy of dispossession that has turned a small strip of land into the hell of this world.”

Likewise, he considered it necessary to drive the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States’ denunciation of “the new colonizing attempt,” and therefore reaffirmed the importance of holding an extraordinary meeting of the bloc’s foreign ministers.
