Dileita expressed this during a meeting with the Cuban ambassador to Djibouti, Marcelo Caballero Torres, in which they discussed pressing current issues on the international stage, according to a statement sent to Prensa Latina.

Caballero Torres took the opportunity to explain the difficult economic situation facing Havana, due to the intensification of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States government, which includes serious threats against third countries that trade with the Caribbean nation.

Both sides agreed on the need to join forces and devise strategies to make the phrase “A better world is possible” a reality.

On January 29, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a “national emergency” in response to the alleged “unusual and extraordinary threat” that, according to Washington, Cuba poses to the security of the United States and the region.

The text accuses the Cuban government of aligning itself with “numerous hostile countries,” harboring “transnational terrorist groups” such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and allowing the deployment on the island of “sophisticated military and intelligence capabilities” from Russia and China.

In response to these unfounded accusations, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel stated that “this new measure demonstrates the fascist, criminal, and genocidal nature of a clique that has hijacked the interests of the American people for purely personal gain.”
