In a statement posted on social media, he noted that this day is being celebrated in an increasingly aggressive global context, in which the world’s leading power applies doctrines of domination that constantly threaten the peace, stability, and security of nations.

“We reiterate Cuba’s commitment to multilateralism, diplomacy, and peace, based on International Law, cooperation, and the peaceful settlement of disputes,” Rodriguez stated.

He also reiterated that the Cuban people will never accept threats or the overwhelming imperialist peace imposed on force.

“We will defend our independence and constitutional order to the utmost,” he concluded.
